Question

1. Using the Product Rule of Probability, calculate the chances of picking a red bean out of a bag with 1 red bean and 49 white beans. What are your chances of picking the one red bean out of a bag with 1 red bean and 49 white beans twice in a row

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

The probability of picking one red bean out of total 50 beans (one red and 49 whites). = 1/50

Now, chances of picking the one red bean out of a bag with 1 red bean and 49 white beans twice in a row is case of conditional probabilty where we can use the Product Rule of Probability

= 1/50*0/49 = 0 [ There is only one red and it is ready picked in the first draw]
