Answer:

The probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow is  \frac{1}{9}  or 0.111.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bag contains 5 yellow blocks, 2 green blocks and 3 blue blocks.

Also, we choose one block and then another block without putting the first one back in the bag.

<u>Firstly, as we know that Probability of any event is given by ;</u>

           Probability of an event  =  \frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}  

SO, <em>Probability that the first block will be green</em> =  \frac{\text{Number of green blocks}}{\text{Total blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of green blocks = 2

Total number of blocks in bag = 5 yellow + 2 green + 3 blue = 10 blocks

So, Probability that the first block will be green  =  \frac{2}{10}

<em>Similarly, Probability that the second block will be yellow</em> =  

                               \frac{\text{Number of yellow blocks}}{\text{Total number of remaining blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of yellow blocks = 5

Total number of remaining blocks in bag = 10 - 1 = 9 blocks  {because we haven't put the block back after choosing the first}

So, Probability that the second block will be yellow  =  \frac{5}{9}

<u>Now, Probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow</u>  =  \frac{2}{10} \times \frac{5}{9}

            =  \frac{1}{9}  = 0.111

Hence, the required probability is 0.111.

An academic department with five faculty members narrowed its choice for department head to either candidate a or candidate
Fantom [35]
The probability that the first two votes drawn are both for candidate a is given by:
3C2/5C2 = 3/10
Having drawn two votes for candidate a on the first two draws, there are 2 votes for candidate b and one vote for candidate a remaining. The probability that a vote for candidate b will be drawn on the third draw is:
2/3.
After the first three draws, there reains one vote for candidate a and one vote for candidate b. The probability that a vote for candidate a will be drawn on the fourth draw is:
1/2.
The probability of the ordering aabab is therefore given by:
\frac{3}{10}\times\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{60}
The answer is: 0.1.
