There are a total of 8 cookies in the jar
The probability of Chris getting Chocolate cookie in the first draw = 5/8
Since the cookies are not replaced, after the first draw, only 7 cookies will remain in the jar, and the probability of picking an oatmeal cookie = 3/7
The the probability that Chris gets a chocolate cookie on his first draw and an oatmeal cookie on his second draw?
= 5/8 x 3/7
= 15/56
