She rolls a number cube and draws a lettertile from a bag to randomly place each student in a group. What is the probabilitythat Josie will be placed in an A group with an even number? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer: 9

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation: To solve this question we may divide the problem into three pieces

- Probability that Julie will be placed in an A group

- Probability Julie has an even number

- The assemble of both probabilities

Step 1: For the first probability mentioned above we know that there are only 2 possible outcomes A or B and we want to know the probability to be just A which means

`P_(groupA)=(1)/(2)`

Step 2: For the second probability we have 6 possible outcomes (1,2,3,4,5 or 6) and we want to know the probability to get a even number (2,)
