Question

A bag contains 6 black tiles, 5 white tiles, and 4 blue tiles. Event A is defined as drawing a white tile from the bag on the first draw, and event B is defined as drawing a black tile on the second draw. If two tiles are drawn from the bag, one after the other without replacement, what is P(A and B) expressed in simplest form? A. 4/45 B. 1/7 C. 4/15 D. 5/14

Answer 1

Answer:

5/14

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 tiles in total

5 white| 6 black | 4 blue

event A results in the subject pulling a white tile and not replacing it

5-1= 4

so the first answer should be 4/15

event B results in the subject pulling another tile, a black one and not replacing it.

6-1= 5

given this answer, there is one less tile in the total, since we removed another tile.

So our answer would be-

5/14 or D
