Lara makes the following statement: "There is an 80% chance of rain tomorrow and a 10% chance I will go to the park." What is the chance that it will rain tomorrow and Lara will go to the park? 90% 70% 8% 6%

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

A = it rains tomorrow B = you go to the park P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) only if the two events are independent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah just multiply the probabilities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the 80% and 10%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it gives me 800

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you should do 0.8 times 0.1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

80% = 0.8 10% = 0.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks can you help me with some more

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure, one more

The table below shows the number of marbles of different colors in a bag: Color of Marbles Number of Marbles Pink 5 Blue 2 Green 3 Ursula draws a marble from the bag randomly without looking. She then draws another marble from the bag without replacing the first one. Which expression shows the probability of drawing green marbles in both the trials?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

show me what you have so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can show you the answers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I want to see how far you got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt try it yet

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

give it a try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill give you a metal or 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jim

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the probability of drawing 1 green marble?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: look at the number of green and the number total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many green marbles are there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

out of how many total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the probability of getting green is 3/10 that's the first draw

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

on the second draw, we do NOT replace the marble so we have 2 green out of 9 total the probability of getting another green on the second draw is 2/9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply 3/10 and 2/9 to get your answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

reduce the answer as much as possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times or addition

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply means times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i didnt read it properly
