Answer:
52 cards:
26 red and 26 black
P(R) = probability of picking a red card
P(B) = probability of picking a black card
P(R) = P(B) = ¹/₂
If with replacement:
P(R∩B) = (¹/₂)(¹/₂) = ¹/₄
If without replacement:
P(R∩B) = (¹/₂)(²⁶/₅₁) = ¹³/₅₁
8 Balls:
3 red and 5 white
P(R) = probability of picking a red ball
P(W) = probability of picking a white ball
P(R) = ³/₈
P(W) = ⁵/₈
If with replacement:
P(R∩W) ∪ P(W∩R) = (³/₈)(⁵/₈) + (⁵/₈)(³/₈)
= ¹⁵/₆₄ + ¹⁵/₆₄
= ³⁰/₆₄
= ¹⁵/₃₂
If without replacement:
P(R∩W) ∪ P(W∩R) = (³/₈)(⁵/₇) + (⁵/₈)(³/₇)
= ¹⁵/₄₂ + ¹⁵/₄₂
= ³⁰/₄₂
= ⁵/₇
