A garden has 8 white roses and 11 red roses. One rose is plucked from the garden and then one more rose is plucked without repla
cement let the event w=plucking a white rose for the first time and event r=plucking a red rose for the second time in two or more complete sentences explain the meaning of probabilities p(r/w) and p(w/r) do they have the same value
P(r/w) is the probability of picking a red rose at first picking and a white rose at second picking. P(w/r) is the probability of picking a white rose at first picking and a red rose at second picking.
P(r/w) = × = P(w/r) = ×=
Notice that the second fraction is out of 18 because the second picking of rose will be out of 18 since the first rose is not replaced.
