1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:
A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?
You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked
2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.
b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;
In Littletown, the probability that a baseball team goes to the city playoffs is 0.30. the probability that the team goes to the state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.
What is the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs?
A. 0.10
B.0.50
C. 0.66
D. 0.06
Answer:
OPTION D is correct
d)0.06
the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a baseball team goes to city playoffs is 0.30.
P(baseball team goes to city playoffs)=0.30
The probability that the team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.
P(team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs)=0.20
From our knowledge of set, we know that
P(A | B)= P(A ∩ C)/P(C)
where A= city playoffs
B= state playoffs
P(State play off | city play off)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/P(city play off,)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/0.30 =0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)= 0.30 × 0.20
= 0.06
Hence,the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is 0.06
