Question

ME:Experiment 1: Select one marble out of the 12 marbles Suppose you have a bag containing 12 marbles that are numbered 1 through 6 on each blue and red. 6 are red and 6 are blue. Let A What are the chances you will get a red marble with an odd number on it? B: Observe a blue marble with an even number

Answer 1

Probability is given by the expression:

`P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favourable outcomes}}`

There are 3 odd numbers between 1 to 6, then there are 3 favourable outcomes:

`P(A)=(3)/(12)`

There are also three even numbers between 1 to 6, then for blue marbles with an even number:

`P(B)=(3)/(12)`
