PLEASE HELP!!!! A bag contains 1 white (W), 3 blue (B1, B2, B3), and 2 red (R1, R2) marbles. (4 points)
a. Use a tree diagram to list all the possible outcomes for tossing a coin and then drawing a marble from the bag.
b. Are these independent or dependent events?
c. Find the probability of tossing a head and drawing a red marble. Explain your reasoning.
d. Find the probability of drawing two blue marbles if the first marble is not replaced. Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

The events are independent events and probability of tossing a head and drawing a red marble is 1/7

a) The answer is present in the image attached below

b) Tossing of a coin and drawing of a marble are independent events as these two events do not interfere in the probability of each others events.

c) The probability of tossing a head and drawing a red marble is = [tex]\frac{1}{2}.\frac{2}{7}[/tex]=1/7 as we can see from the tree diagram that probability of tossing a coin and getting head is 1/2 and probability of drawing a red marble is 1/7. As they are independent events, their probability can be multiplied. Hence the probability of tossing a head and drawing a red marble is 1/7.

d) The probability of drawing two blue marbles if the first marble is not replaced and one at a time is 1/7. Probability of drawing first blue marble from the lot is 3/7 as favorable outcomes are 3 and total outcomes are 7. As the ball is not replaced the outcomes are changed. Now the number of blue balls are 2 and total number of balls are 6. So now the probability becomes 2/6. Hence the total probability becomes = 1/7
