Question

A package of self-sticking notepads contains 6 yellow, 6 blue, 6 green, and 6 pink notepads. An experiment consists of randomly selecting one of the notepads and recording its color. Find the probability that a yellow or pink notepad is selected given that it is either blue or green.

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

To find the probability, we must know the total quantity and the specific quantities in each case, then:

We know that in total there are 6 of each and there are 4, therefore, in total they would be:

6 * 4 = 24

24 packs of notebooks.

Now, in each case there are 2 of each color, that is to say that both cases would have 12, since each package has 6.

Therefore, the probability for both cases would be:

12/24 = 0.5

I mean, it would be 50%

Answer 2

0

Explanation:

- We are given a package of self-sticking notepads with colors:

Yellow = 6

Blue = 6

Green = 6

Pink = 6

- If we are to isolate "Green and Blue" colored self-sticking notepads. We have a total of 12 notepads:

Blue = 6

Green = 6

- The probability to select a " Yellow" or "Pink" from the sample of " Blue and Green" is zero. As there are no Yellow or pink notepads anymore. in the sample.
