A box contains 1 plain pencil and 4 pens. A second box contains 5 color pencils and 5 crayons. One item from each box is chosen

at random. What is the probability that a plain pencil from the first box and a color pencil from the second box are selected?

1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

the numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacet. find t
Tresset [83]

Consider such events:

A - slip with number 3 is chosen;

B - the sum of numbers is 4.

You have to count Pr(A|B).

Use formula for conditional probability:

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}.

1. The event A\cap B consists in selecting two slips, first is 3 and second should be 1, because the sum is 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 1 and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event A\cap B is

Pr(A\cap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}.

2. The event B consists in selecting two slips with the sum 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 2 (1st slip 3 and 2nd slip 1 or 1st slip 1 and 2nd slip 3) and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event B is

Pr(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}.

3. Then

Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{\frac{1}{20} }{\frac{1}{10} }=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Answer: \dfrac{1}{2}.
