Question

Juan has 3 blue markers and 4 red markers in his book bag. He randomly chooses 6 markers from the bag. Which event is certain?1 He will get fewer than 2 red markers.2 He will get more than 2 blue markers.3 He will get fewer than 2 blue markers.4 He will get more than 2 red markers.

Answer 1

We are told that there are in total 7 markers out of which 3 are clue and 4 are red. If Juan takes randomly 6 markers, let's take the case in which of those 6 markers there are 3 blue markers therefore the other three must be red. In any other case, there must be more than three red markers. Therefore, a certain event is that there will be more than 2 red markers.
