Let S be the event that both cookies selected were the same flavor. Find P(S). (Enter your probability as a fraction.) Let T be the event that both cookies selected were different flavors. Find P(T) by two different methods: by using the complement rule and by using the branches of the tree. Your answers should be the same with both methods. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)  Let U be the event that the second cookie selected is a butter cookie. Find P(U). (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
