Well what is the probability that the number is even?

amistre64 · Answer

the probability of event1 AND event2 = p(event1) * p(event2)

amistre64 · Answer

since the basket and hat are disjoint; theres no need to confuse yourself over the probabilty event2 given event1 :)

anonymous · Answer

6 pieaces =1,2,3,4,5,6,
even = 2,4,6
3/6=1/2
