Two bags contain coloured cubes.

Bag 1 has 3 red cubes and 1 blue cube.
Bag 2 has 3 green cubes, 1 yellow cube, and 1 red cube.
Is the probability that you will get a red cube from Bag 1 and the yellow cube from Bag 2 more or less than the probability of getting the blue cube from Bag 1 and a green cube from Bag 2? Explain.

Answer:

equal

Explanation:

Bag 1 has 3 red cubes and 1 blue cube. = 4 cubes

Bag 2 has 3 green cubes, 1 yellow cube, and 1 red cube.= 5 cubes

P ( red bag 1) = red /total = 3/4

P (yellow bag 2) = yellow /total = 1/5

P(red bag1 , yellow bag2) = 3/4* 1/5 = 3/20

P ( blue bag 1) =blue /total =1/4

P (green bag 2) = green /total = 3/5

P(blue bag1 , green bag2) = 1/4* 3/5 = 3/20

The probabilities are equal
