Answer

$\frac{3}{22}$

Work Step by Step

The first outcome affects the probability of the second so the events are dependent. There are 3 apple drinks out of 11 drinks: P(apple)=$\frac{3}{11}$ There are 5 citrus drinks out of the remaining 10 drinks P(citrus after apple)=$\frac{5}{10}$=$\frac{1}{2}$ P(apple then citrus)=P(apple) $\times$ P(citrus after apple) P(apple then citrus)=$\frac{3}{11}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{2}$ P(apple then citrus)=$\frac{3}{22}$
