Question

Struggling with an assignment that requires finding the probability of compound events. Can anyone please explain how to find it? Thank you!

Answer 1

4/9 probrabitaty

Explanation:

Answer 2

4/9 probability

Explanation:

Imagine winning something, there's 3 possible prizes that you get to choose from and get to keep let's say 4 days? These all written on the paper that you must pull from a box.

Your three prizes are

D1 D2 D3 D4

1. a car

2. a bike

3. skateboard.

Now if you can imagine a grid and you mark 1 dot in each day we'll end up with 12 slots total.

Let's say you don't want a skateboard you rather have a car or a bike. We need to figure out of the 12 possibility (assuming all are equal) What's the possibility of you pulling out anything BUT a skateboard?

You want at least 3 days in either or. So we must find P = (Days without skateboard)

We know it's all equal outcomes, you're going to get 1 day of that 1 item.. soo..

p (DWS) = _____

12 outcomes

Now you want how many days MORE THAN 3, can you use anything but the skateboard?

You have 3 & 4 days with a car...

You have 3 or 4 days with a bike.. Which gives us 4 of the days we do want!

Giving your final problem the looking like this .. P(DWS) = 4/9
