A bag contains 8 red marbles, 4 white marbles, and 5 blue marbles. You draw one marble at random. Find P(red and blue).
@jim_thompson5910
draw one marble ?
?
draw one marble, impossible get 2 events
okay theres 17 marbles total. Am i supposed to take away a marble from the red and blue ?
i think ur question is P(red or blue) not P(red and blue)
You just said the same thing.
no, it is different
A) 40/17 B) 0 C) 12/17 D) 13/16
if u draw 2 marbles, yes correct it is P(red and blue) but the condition of this case just only draw one marble, so it P(R or B)
P(R or B) = P(R) + P(B) = 8/17 + 5/17 = 12/17
Thank you
A spinner is numbered from 1 through 10 with each number equally likely to occur. What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 2 or greater than 7 in a single spin?
A) 2/5 B) 1/2 C) 2 2/2 D) 3/10
less than 2, it is 1 more than 7, they are 8,9 and 10 so, the total event is 4 events 4 of 10, means 4/10=2/5
