Question

A student purchases six different colored folders for her classes red blue yellow green purple and black she randomly chooses to folders to use for her first two classes what is the probability that her first choice is red and her second choice is blue

Answer 1

The sample space is 6 different colors1) P(Red) =1/6 P(Blue) = 1/6 P(Red AND Blue) =P(Red ∩ Blue) (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/362)

P(of Blue) =1/2 , P)Red) =1/2 ,

P(getting 5) =1/6, P(getting 1,2 or 3)=3/6=1/2

P(Blue AND 5) =1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12

P(Red AND 1 OR 2 OR 3) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

Probability of Event A AND Event B = 1/12 x 1/4 =1/48 =0.021 (I don't see it on your paper)

Answer 2

1/6, 1/5...........................
