Question

Molly plans to sew together a costume for the school play. She has one of each of the following colors

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 1/4

3) 1/12

4) 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) P(Red) = 1/4

4 options out of which 1 is red

2)

Black --> Black, White, Yellow

Green --> Black, White, Yellow

Red --> Black, White, Yellow

White --> Black, White, Yellow

First 4 branches for buttons.

From each of these 4 branches, make 3 further branches for ribbons

3) In the tree diagram, there are

12 (4×3 = 12) equally likely outcomes

Out of which 1 is (Black, Black)

So, P(Black & Black) = 1/12

4) out of the 12 outcomes, only 2 have same colour of bottom ribbon:

(Black, Black) & (White,White).

Other 10 have different colours.

P(different) = 10/12 = 5/6
