If 18 percent of the beads in a bag are green, 25 percent are red and 40 percent are purple. What is the probablity of choosing a green bead then a red bead

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P(G\ then\ R)=0.045[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Percentage of  Green beads [tex]P_g=18[/tex]

Percentage of  Red beads    [tex]P_r=18[/tex]

Percentage of Purple beads [tex]P_p=18[/tex]

Therefore

Probability of choosing a Green bead is

 [tex]P(G)=0.18[/tex]

Probability of choosing a Red bead is

 [tex]P(R)=0.25[/tex]

Generally the equation for choosing a green bead then a red bead is mathematically given by

Since Outcomes are independent

 [tex]P(G\ then\ R)=0.18*0.25[/tex]

 [tex]P(G\ then\ R)=0.045[/tex]
