Complete question :
Determine the probability that two pears are selected The probability is(Simplity your answer.)
d) Determine the probability that a card containing a PEAR and then a card containing a question mark are selected
Answer:
(QQ, QP, QM, QP, PP, MP, QM, PM, MM) ;
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Marking on card :
Question mark = Q
Pear = P
Moon = M
Selecting two cards with replacement :
Sample space :
_____ Q ____ P _____ M
Q ___QQ ___QP ___ QM
P ___QP ____PP ___ MP
M__ QM ____PM ___MM
(QQ, QP, QM, QP, PP, MP, QM, PM, MM) ;
1/9 ;
2/9
P(selecting 2 pears) = (PP)
P(p) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes = 1 / 9
Card containing a pear and then a question mark ;
(PQ or QP).
P(p) = 1/3 ; P(Q) = 1/3
P(PQ) + P(QP)
(1/3 * 1/3) + (/3 * 1/3)
1/9 + 1/9
(1 + 1) / 9
= 2/9
