Question

THE NUMBER 1-10 ARE IN A BAG, YOU TAKE 2 OUT WITHOUT REPLACEMENT. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME AND THEN DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER.

Answer 1

1 / 18

Explanation:

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Favorable outcome = 1

Total number of outcome (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) = 10

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME = 1 / 10

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER THE SECOND TIME = Number of favorable outcome / Total number of outcomes

Favorable outcome (2,4,6,8,10) = 5

Total number of outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10) = 9

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER THE SECOND TIME = 5/9

PROBABILITY OF DRAWING THE NUMBER 7 THE FIRST TIME AND THEN DRAWING AN EVEN NUMBER = 1 / 10 * 5 / 9 = 1 / 18
