Question

A bag contains 5 gray tiles and 2 blue tiles. Jenny reached into the bag and picked a tile randomly, and then without replacing it, picked a second tile. If you know that she picked a blue tile with her first pick, what is the probability that she picked a gray tile with her second pick? A) 1 6 B) 1 7 C) 5 6 D) 5 7

Answer 1

the anwer would be c

Answer 2

The probability of picking a gray tile the second time would be 5 to 6. I know this because after picking a blue tile the first time, she would only be left with five gray tiles and one blue tile. Your probability is based on the expected outcome when Compared to all possible outcomes. If there are five gray tiles in the bag, and she has five possible expected outcomes, and six total possible outcomes.
