2/5
3/5
9/14

Answer 1

\[P(\text{getting a white marble from bag A}) \times P(\text{getting a white marble from bag B)}\]

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

@experimentX

Answer 4

probability is always less than 1 ... follow the instructions given above.

Answer 5

and try to find one by one.

Answer 6

The probability is always less than 1, unless it's the probability of you dying after Chuck Norris tickles you for a second. :-)

Answer 7

9/14

Answer 8

@soonerboy You sure?

Answer 9

im 88% sure it is

Answer 10

and how so?

Answer 11

try to find the individual probability ...
what is the probability of drawing a white marble from Bag A ??

Answer 12

3/2

Answer 13

3/5

Answer 14

that for a

Answer 15

okay .. that's correct!! @soonerboy explain it to @begzat

Answer 16

this is for b 6/9 then you simplify it it will be 2/3

Answer 17

medal please for a king

Answer 18

okay okay ... thank you!! could you explain it to @begzat I am a bit busy

Answer 19

yeah

Answer 20

first you count how many whit marbles in bag A. Which 3 and then you count how many marbles you got together which is 5. and you do the same thing to bag B. but you have simplify the 6/9 to 2/3

Answer 21

and how do you find the combined probability?? think probability as a chance.
suppose you are lucky you get away without doing homework at school. will you still be lucky to punch someone in face and get away without getting hurt? how about couple of fights and get away with out getting hurt?

Answer 22

just think ...
3/5 chance to get white out of that box.
and
2/3 chance or get while out of another box.

should you chance increase or decrease??

Answer 23

increase

Answer 24

lol .. no!!
you have 3/5 ... three out of five ... in five times, you would get away three times.
get away at school without being punished by your teacher.

you have 2/3 chance ... two out of three ... in every three fights, you win two of them.
-------------------------------------------------
what in some particular day ... what is your chance that you get away without doing homework .. and getting in fight and winning it?

Answer 25

i understand what you mean but... sometimes the brain take a brake you know lol

Answer 26

lol yeah im tired right now

Answer 27

yeah yeah ... take a break as long as you wish.

Answer 28

thanks guys for helping me :)

Answer 29

np

Answer 30

multiply those probabilities

Answer 31

that is your answer.
