Respuesta :
(9/18)(9/18) = 81/324. The probability that Amy takes out pink chips in both draws is 81/324.
In this example we will use the probability property P(A∩B), which means given two independent events A and B, their joint probability P(A∩B) can be expressed as the product of the individual probabilities P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B).
The total number of chips of different colors in Amy's bag is:
8 blue chips + 9 pink chips + 1 white chip = 18 color chips
Amy takes out a chip from the bag randomly without looking, she replaces the chip and then takes out another chip from the bag.
So, the probability that Amy takes out a pink chip in the first draw is:
P(A) = 9/18 The probability of takes out a pink chip is 9/18 because there are 9 pink chips in the total of 18 color chips.
Then, Amy replaces the chip an takes out another which means there are again 18 color chips divide into 8 blue chips, 9 pink chips, and 1 white chip. So, the probability of takes out a pink chip in the second draw is:
P(B) = 9/18 The probability of takes out a pink chip is 9/18 because there are 9 pink chips in the total of 18 color chips.
What is the probability that Amy takes out a pink chip in both draws?
P(A∩B) = P(A)P(B)
P(A∩B) = (9/18)(9/18) = 81/324
Probability of taking out pink chip in both draws is equal to [tex]9[/tex] over [tex]18[/tex]multiplied by [tex]9[/tex] over [tex]18[/tex] equals [tex]81[/tex] over [tex]324[/tex].
What is probability?
" Probability is defined as the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes."
Formula used
Probability [tex]= \frac{n(F)}{n(T)}[/tex]
[tex]n(F)=[/tex] Number of favourable outcomes
[tex]n(T)=[/tex] Total number of outcomes
For independent events
[tex]P(A\cap B) = P(A) \times P(B)[/tex]
According to the question,
Given,
Total number of chips [tex]= 18[/tex]
Number of pink chips [tex]= 9[/tex]
[tex]'A'[/tex] represents the event of taking out pink chip first time
[tex]'B'[/tex] represents the event of taking out pink chip second time
Probability of taking out pink chip first time [tex]'P(A)' = \frac{9}{18}[/tex]
After replaces the chips again number of chip remain same
Probability of taking out pink chip second time [tex]'P(B)' = \frac{9}{18}[/tex]
Both the events are independent to each other
Substitute the value in the formula of probability of independent event we get,
Probability of taking out pink chip in both draw
[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{9}{18} \times \frac{9}{18}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{81}{324}[/tex]
Hence, probability of taking out pink chip in both draw is equal to [tex]9[/tex] over [tex]18[/tex]multiplied by [tex]9[/tex] over [tex]18[/tex] equals [tex]81[/tex] over [tex]324[/tex].
