Nico owns 11 instructional piano books. Two are beginner books, six are intermediate books, and three are advanced books. If two books are randomly chosen from the collection, one at a time, and replaced after each pick, what is the probability that he first chooses an advanced book and then chooses a beginner book?

Respuesta :

Answer: Required probability will be

[tex]\frac{6}{21}[/tex]

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of beginner books = 2

Number of advanced books = 3

Number of intermediate books = 6

Total number of instructional piano books = 11

Now,

According to question,

We have to find the probability that he first chooses an advanced book and then chooses a beginner book which is given by

[tex]P(\text{ he chooses first an advanced book and then chooses a beginner book})\\\\ =\frac{\text{ Number of advanced book}}{\text{Total number of books}}\times \frac{\text{ Number of beginner books}}{\text{Total number of books}}\\\\=\frac{3}{11}\times \frac{2}{11}=\frac{6}{121}[/tex]

Hence, required probability will be

[tex]\frac{6}{21}[/tex]

The probability of Nico choosing an advanced book and then a beginner book is [tex]\dfrac{6}{121}[/tex].

Given to us

Number of piano books owned by Nico = 11

  • Number of beginner books = 2
  • Number of intermediate books = 6
  • Number of advanced books = 3

What is probability?

The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

[tex]\rm{Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}[/tex]

What is the probability that he first chooses an advanced book and then chooses a beginner book?

As we know that Nico picks an advanced book and then replaces it therefore, keep it back, and then Nico picks a beginner book.

Probability(first an advanced book and then a beginner book)

= Probability(Advance book) + Probability(Beginner book)

[tex]\text{Probability(first an advanced book and then a beginner book)}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{3}{11} \times \dfrac{2}{11}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{121}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of Nico choosing an advanced book and then a beginner book is [tex]\dfrac{6}{121}[/tex].
