FAMAT 2012 State Convention Statistics Bowl #1 In a box, 6 oranges weigh 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, and 4 oz. In another box, 6 apples weigh 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, and 5 oz. The fruits from the two boxes are combined into one box. If a fruit from this new box is chosen at random, calculate the probability that a fruit is more than 3 ounces.
