Answer and step-by-step explanation:
I believe it is 287. I am not entirely sure, but I believe that is the answer.
Answer:
(a) See attachment for tree diagram
(b) 24 possible outcomes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Solving (a): A possibility tree
If urn 1 is selected, the following selection exists:
![B_1 \to [R_1, R_2, R_3]; R_1 \to [B_1, R_2, R_3]; R_2 \to [B_1, R_1, R_3]; R_3 \to [B_1, R_1, R_2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_1%20%5Cto%20%5BR_1%2C%20R_2%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_1%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_2%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_2%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_1%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_3%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_1%2C%20R_2%5D)
If urn 2 is selected, the following selection exists:
![B_2 \to [B_3, R_4, R_5]; B_3 \to [B_2, R_4, R_5]; R_4 \to [B_2, B_3, R_5]; R_5 \to [B_2, B_3, R_4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_2%20%5Cto%20%5BB_3%2C%20R_4%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20B_3%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20R_4%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20R_4%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20B_3%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20R_5%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20B_3%2C%20R_4%5D)
<em>See attachment for possibility tree</em>
Solving (b): The total number of outcome
<u>For urn 1</u>
There are 4 balls in urn 1

Each of the balls has 3 subsets. i.e.
![B_1 \to [R_1, R_2, R_3]; R_1 \to [B_1, R_2, R_3]; R_2 \to [B_1, R_1, R_3]; R_3 \to [B_1, R_1, R_2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_1%20%5Cto%20%5BR_1%2C%20R_2%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_1%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_2%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_2%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_1%2C%20R_3%5D%3B%20R_3%20%5Cto%20%5BB_1%2C%20R_1%2C%20R_2%5D)
So, the selection is:


<u>For urn 2</u>
There are 4 balls in urn 2

Each of the balls has 3 subsets. i.e.
![B_2 \to [B_3, R_4, R_5]; B_3 \to [B_2, R_4, R_5]; R_4 \to [B_2, B_3, R_5]; R_5 \to [B_2, B_3, R_4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=B_2%20%5Cto%20%5BB_3%2C%20R_4%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20B_3%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20R_4%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20R_4%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20B_3%2C%20R_5%5D%3B%20R_5%20%5Cto%20%5BB_2%2C%20B_3%2C%20R_4%5D)
So, the selection is:


Total number of outcomes is:



first combine like terms so 2n + 7n which is 9n
so 9n + 7 = 13 + 3n + 8n
then combine on other side so 9n + 7 = 13 + 11n
then subtract 7 to 13 so 6
sp 9n + 6 = 11n
then subtract 9 to the other side so 2n
6 = 2n then divide all by 2
n= 3

bearing in mind, "t" is in years, 6months is just 1/2 year
solve for "r", you'd get a decimal amount, multiply times 100, to get the percentage form
