- 26) probability = 1/4
- 27) probability = 0.0588
- 28) probability = 0.157
=================================================
Work Shown:
26)
1/2 = probability of an odd number, since half of the numbers are odd
1/2 = probability of tails
(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the probability of both events happening at the same time
----------------------------
27)
13/52 = probability of pulling out one club
12/51 = probability of pulling out a second club, assuming the first one is not put back
(13/52)*(12/51) = 156/2652 = 1/17 = 0.0588 is the probability of pulling two clubs in a row (without replacement).
----------------------------
28)
11/27 = probability first person has blonde hair
10/26 = probability second person has blonde hair (cannot reselect the first person again)
(11/27)*(10/26) = 110/702 = 55/351 = 0.157 is the probability of selecting two people with blonde hair
