Answer:

Event 4, Event 1, Event 3, Event 2

Explanations:

Number of black marbles in bag A = 11

Number of green marbles in bag A = 9

Total number of marbles in bag A = 11 + 9 = 20

Number of black marbles in bag B = 8

Number of green marbles in bag B = 2

Total number of marbles in bag B = 8 + 2 = 10

Event 1:

Likelihood of choosing a black marble from bag A = 11/20 = 0.55

Event 2:

Likelihood of choosing a black or green marble from bag A = 11/20 + 9/20

Likelihood of choosing a black or green marble from bag A = 0.55 + 0.45

Likelihood of choosing a black or green marble from bag A = 1

Event 3:

Likelihood of choosing a balck marble from bag B = 8/10 = 0.8

Event 4:

Likelihood of choosing a purple marble from bag B = 0

Since there is no purple marble in bag B

Arrangement of the events from the least likely to the most likely will be:

Event 4, Event 1, Event 3, Event 2
