Question

Jason has two bags with 6 tiles each.

Without looking, Jason draws a tile from the first bag and then a tile from the second bag. What is the probability of Jason drawing an even tile from the first bag and an even tile from the second bag?

Answer 1

9/36

Explanation:

Answer 2

1/4.

Explanation:

I am assuming that there are 3 even and 3 odd tiles in each bag.

Probability( drawing an even tile form one bag) = 3/6 = 1/2.

The probability of drawing an even from the first and an even from the second = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 (answer).

The individual probabilities are multiplied because the 2 events are independent.
