. At a clothing store, 12 people purchased blue sweaters, 8 purchased green sweaters, 4 purchased gray sweaters, and 7 purchased

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is $\frac{12}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

$P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}$

The addition rule is used when you want to know the probability that 2 or more events will occur. The addition rule or addition rule states that if we have an event A and an event B, the probability of event A or event B occurring is calculated as follows:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where:

P (A): probability of event A occurring.

P (B): probability that event B occurs.

P (A⋃B): probability that event A or event B occurs.

P (A⋂B): probability of event A and event B occurring at the same time.

Mutually exclusive events are things that cannot happen at the same time. Then P (A⋂B) = 0. So, P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

In this case, being:

P(A)= the probability that they purchased a green sweater
P(B)= the probability that they purchased a gray sweater
Mutually exclusive events

You know:

8 purchased green sweaters
4 purchased gray sweaters
number of possible cases= 12 + 8 + 4+ 7= 21

So:

$P(A)=\frac{8}{31}$

$P(B)=\frac{4}{31}$

P(A⋂B) = 0

Then:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

P(A∪B)= $\frac{8}{31}+ \frac{4}{31}$

P(A∪B)= $\frac{12}{31}$

The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is $\frac{12}{31}$

A bag contains 40 marbles. The probability of selecting a red marble at random is 1/5. How many red marbles are in the bag?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

8 red marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

All together we have 40 marbles. The fraction of marbles that are red is 1/5 which means that we should divide the total number of marbles, which is 40 by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) 5 so that we get the number of groups that have 1 red marble in them. In this case we have 8 groups.

40/5=8

You always divide by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) first and then you multiply your answer by the numerator ( Top number of fraction ) .

If each group has 1 red marble in it and we have 8 groups, it means that we have 8 red marbles in the bag.

1 * 8 = 8 red marbles in the bag

If the numerator (number above the fraction line) was more than one, then this would mean that we have more than 1 marble in each group of marbles.

Example:

If we had 3/5 we would have 3 marbles in each group of marbles. This means that instead of doing 1 * 8 we would have to do 3 * 8 = 24. We would have 24 red marbles in the bag.

Easy and quick way if you do not need the explanation:

Another way we could do this is by simply multiplying the fraction ( 1/5 ) by the total number of marbles ( 40 ). This would still give us an answer of 8 red marbles in the bag. 40/5=8, 8*1=8
