Answer:
a) Probability of picking Two MAGA buttons without replacement = 0.15
b) Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in that order = 0.0833
Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in with the order unimportant = 0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
10 MAGA [MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN] buttons, 5 GND [GREEN NEW DEAL] buttons and 10 NAW [NEVER A WALL] buttons.
Total number of buttons = 10 + 5 + 10 = 25
Let probability of picking a MAGA button be P(M) = 10/25 = 0.4
Probability of picking a GND button be P(G) = 5/25 = 0.2
Probability of picking a NAW button be P(N) = 10/25 = 0.4
a) Probability of picking Two MAGA buttons without replacement = (10/25) × (9/24) = 3/20 = 0.15
b) Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in that order = (10/25) × (5/24) = 1/12 = 0.0833
Probability of picking a MAGA and GND button in with the order unimportant = [(10/25) × (5/24)] + [(5/25) × (10/24)] = 1/6 = 0.167
Hi Cherise1cherhop lets break this equation down with these steps:
1) add the whole numbers first
2) find the LCD of the fractions and that would be 42 since 42 can go into both denominators through multiplication
3) make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (42)
4) simplify it, now the denominators are equal
5) join the denominators together
6) simplify it (3 + 65/42)
7) convert 65/42 to mixed fraction
8) now that we made it a mixed fraction, simplify it
Answer: 4 23/42
