What’s the question/what are the options?
Answer:
a) There are 8 possible combinations and each probability is 1/8.
b) The probability that it is a boy given that there are two girls is 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space is given by:
BBB (3 boys)
BBG (Boy, boy, girl)
BGB (Boy, girl, boy)
BGG (Boy, girl, girl)
GBB (girl, boy, boy)
GBG (girl, boy, girl)
GGB (girl, girl, boy)
GGG (3 girls)
The probability of each combination is the same:
P(BBB)=P(B∩B∩B)=
2) There are three possible combinations in which there are 2 girls and 1 boy:
BGG, GBG, GGB
So the probability is given by:
P(BGG ∪ GBG ∪ GGB)=
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
3 out of 18 marbles are green. 3/18 can be reduced to 1/6 because both 3 and 18 are divisible by 3.
3/3=1
18/3=6
1/6
Answer:
6/12 or 1/2 or 50% or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have two 6-sided dice, and there are 3 odd numbers on each.
So, you put 6 on top, (the total number of odd outcomes) and 12 on the bottom. (12 total outcomes for both dice.) This simplifies to 1/2 or 50% or .5.
