The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.
So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.
At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39
The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.
-12 = 6 + 2/3y
Subtract 6 from both sides
-18 = 2/3y
Multiply both sides by 3
-54 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
-27 = y
