Question

This is the 4th question

Answer 1

Answer:

a) There are 9 outcomes.

b) **i have attached the tree diagram**

c) 1/9

d) 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Both events (choosing a shirt and choosing pants) are not mutually exclusive (disjoint). Meaning that both events can occur at the same time.

a) For a sequence of two events in which the first event can occur m ways and the second event can occur n ways, the events together can occur a total of m • n ways. So for this problem, you would do 3 • 3 which equals 9.

b) **tree diagram is attached**

c) Because there are two different events occurring (choosing a shirt and choosing pants) you need to multiply using the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events : P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

The probability of event A occurring (choosing a red shirt) is 1/3 and the probability of event B occurring (choosing brown pants) is also 1/3.

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

d) You would do the same thing here as part c.

The probability of event A occurring (choosing a blue shirt) is 1/3 and the probability of event B occurring (choosing blue pants) is again 1/3.

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

I hope this was helpful!! :)
