*medal and fan* ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A box has 8 beads of the same size, but all are different colors. Tamy draws a bead randomly from the box, notes its color, and then puts the bead back in the box. She repeats this 3 times. What is the probability that Tamy would pick a red bead on the first draw, then a white bead, and finally a red bead again?

1 over 4096 1 over 512 1 over 64 1 over 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks lol please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do 1/8*1/8*1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that should give you the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you like to know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/512 and then i simplify right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes i would :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/512 is already simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what an independent event is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, if you want to find the probability of a compound event, multiply each independent event in the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and then i get my answer right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in the problem you have, the probability of picking a red bead was 1/8, a yellow bead 1/8, and the red marble probability was used again(1/8), so you would multiply these probabilities to get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i get it now thanks!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you please help with a few more...medal for each one lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, no need for medals though. Keep posting on this post.
