Answer:
The probability is 5/14
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to calculate/estimate a probability
Firstly , we need to know the total number of caps
we have 5 bill caps and 3 beanies.
Total number of caps = 5 + 3 = 8 caps
The probability of picking the first bill cap is 5/8
Now after removing this and not replacing, we have 4 bill caps left and 3 beanies
Total cap remaining is 7 caps while the probability of picking a bill cap now is 4/7
The combined probability is thus 5/8 * 4/7 = 5/14
