A bag contains 3 pink gumballs, 4 red gumballs, and 2 green gumballs. Find the probability that a red gumball is drawn if there are 5 drawings that occur and the gumballs are replaced after each draw. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pink gumballs = 3,

Red gumballs = 4,

Green gumballs = 2,

So, total gumballs = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9,

Thus, total ways of selecting 5 gumball = [tex]^9C_5[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{9!}{5!4!}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{9\times 8\times 7\times 6}{24}[/tex]

[tex]=9\times 2\times 7[/tex]

[tex]=126[/tex]

Also, the total ways of selecting no red gumballs = [tex]^4C_0\times ^5C_5[/tex]

= 1 × 1

= 1

So, the probability of no red gumballs in 5 drawn

[tex]=\frac{1}{126}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a red gumball is drawn if there are 5 drawings

= 1 - probability of no red gumballs

[tex]=1-\frac{1}{126}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{125}{126}[/tex]

0.99

Answer:

probability of drawn red balls 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: 3 pink ball

4 red gumballs

2 green gumballs

total number of drawing is 5

probability of drawn red balls is given as

P = 1 - Probability of no red ball drawn

  [tex]= 1 - \frac{^4C_0 \times ^5C_5}{ ^9C_5} [/tex]

  [tex]= 1 - \frac{1}{126}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{125}{126}[/tex]

= 0.99
