FAN AND MEDAL The table shows the number of glass bottles of different colors in a shelf. A fair coin is shown below the table.
Color of Glass Bottle Number Red 9 Blue 1 Green 6 Purple 4
Danny selects a glass bottle from the shelf randomly without looking and then tosses the fair coin. What is the probability that he will select a purple glass bottle and that the coin will land heads up? 1 over 10 1 over 8 1 over 6 1 over 5
@justuu @tylermcmullen23 @jordanjamesbay
there are 20 bottles and 4 are purple so what is the probability he picks a purple bottle?
4/20
i may be wrong, but believe you multiply the possibility of the purple bottle by the probability of up
right or simplifying that its 1/5 now the probabolity of getting a head on the toss is 1/2
these 2 events are independent so the 2 probabilities are multiplied
so.. @kiamousekia what is your answer
1/5 * 1/2 = ?
okay thanks i got
