Question

Jennifer has a bag of chips that contains 2 red chips and 1 black chips. If she also has a fair die, what is the probability that she rolls an even number and pulls a black chip? A) 1 18 B) 1 9 C) 1 6 D) 1 3

Answer 1

C) 16 bc if you think about it like 25% chance you going to pull the same chip out without looking

Answer 2

Hey!
First find probability of rolling even number. There are 6 numbers in total, and 3 are even: 2, 4, and 6. So the probability of rolling an even number is:

`P(even) = (3)/(6) = (1)/(2)`

Next, find the probability of drawing a black chip. There 3 chips in total and 1 is black, so the probability is:

`P(black) = (1)/(3)`

Now, multiply the two previous answers:

`P(even, black) = (1)/(2) * (1)/(3) = (1)/(6)`

Finally the answer is:

`P(even, black) = (1)/(6)`


Hope This Helped!
