Question

Harold randomly selected one square tile and one round tile from the sets shown below. what is the probability that harold selected a pink square tile, and either a red or a blue round tile? square tiles: 20 green, 16 pink, 9 red, 10 yellow, 5 blue.round tiles: 5 black, 4 pink, 9 red, 6 blue, 3 yellow, 8 green, 1 white. a. 3/5 b. 14/60 c. 1/9 d. 4/45

Answer 1

The probability that Harold selected a pink square tile, and either a red or a blue round tile is 1/9.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events. The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Considering the selections are independent, their combined probability is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.

 P(pink square) = (pink squares) / (squares) = 16/60 = 4/15

 P(red or blue round) = (red or blue rounds) / ( rounds) = 15/36

Then, the Total probability

 P(E) = (4/15)(15/36)

 P(E) = 4/36

 P(E) = 1/9

So, the probability that Harold selected a pink square tile, and either a red or a blue round tile is 1/9.
