Mathematics

Answer:

Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red socks = 2

Number of white socks = 6

Number of blue socks = 4

Total socks in drawer = 2+6+4 = 12

The formula used to calculate probability is: Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of  \ outcomes}

We are given you draw out a  sock, return it, and draw out a second sock.

We need to find the probability that the first sock is blue and the  second sock is red?

Using formula:

Probability that first sock is blue = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.33

Probability that second sock is red = 2/12 = 1/6 = 0.16

So, Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

The events A and B are independent events, and the values of P(A) and P(B) are 7/12 and 1/2, respectively

<h3>The value of P(A)</h3>

The event A is given as:

A : Sum greater than 6

In the sample space of a roll of two dice, there are 21 outcomes that are greater than 6, out of a total of 36 outcomes

This means that:

P(A) = 21/36

Simplify

P(A) = 7/12

<h3>The value of P(B)</h3>

The event B is given as:

B : Sum is divisible by 2

In the sample space of a roll of two dice, there are 18 outcomes that are divisible by 2, out of a total of 36 outcomes

This means that:

P(B) = 18/36

Simplify

P(B) = 1/2

Hence, the probability values of P(A) and P(B) are 7/12 and 1/2, respectively
