There are 12 white ribbons, 15 red ribbons, and 11 blue ribbons.
38=(w-1)+(w+3)+w
combine like terms
38=2+3w
subtract 2 from both sides
36=3w
divide 3 on both sides
12=w
w-1=b
12-1=b
11=b
w+3=r
12+3=r
15=r
Check Your Work
w+r+b=38
15+11+12=38
38=38
Answer:
P (A and B)=8/9
Events A and B are not dependent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of A AND B means the the probability (favorable outcomes divided by total) of choosing someone who has/did BOTH A and B (not neither or only one of them). 16 did both, so the probability is 16/18 /2/2 = 8/9.
The events are independent (not dependent) because choosing A does not affect choosing B.
