Question

7. A crate of soft drinks contains 9 bottles of coke, 6 bottles of pepsi and 4 bottles of limca. Ademola picks one bottle of soft drink and thereafter Adedeji picks another bottle. Find the probability that: (a) They both. picked limca (b) Ademola only picked pepsi (c) They both picked the same brand (d) They picked different brands.​

Answer 1

The probability that the events (a) they both picked Limca = 0.04, (b) Ademola only picked Pepsi = 0.32, (c) They both picked the same brand = 0.33 (d) They picked different brand=0.67.

What is probability?

Probability is the fraction of the required outcome event divided by the number of possible outcomes of events.

Total possible outcome of the event of picking drinks contained in the crate = 19

Hence, we can compute the following as follows;

(a) The probability they both picked Limca = (4/19)×(3/18)

Limca = 12/342

Limca = 0.04

(b) The probability Ademola only picked pepsi = 6/19

pepsi = 0.32

(c) The probability they both picked the same brand = (9/19)×(8/18)+(6/19)×(5/18)+(4/19)×(3/18)

=(72+29+12)/342

= 114/342

= 0.33

(d) The probability they picked different brand = (9/19)×(6/18)+(9/19)×(4/18)+(6/19)×(9/18)+(6/19)×(4/18)+(4/19)×(9/18)+(4/19)×(6/18)

The probability they picked different brand = (54+36+54+24+36+24)/342

The probability they picked different brand = 228/332

The probability they picked different brand = 0.67

Therefore, the probability for events (a) is 0.04, (b) is 0.32, (c) is 0.33 and (d) is 0.67.
