Math Problem Statement
You choose a tile at random from a bag containing 5 A's, 4 B's, and 2 C's. You replace the first tile in the bag and then choose again. Find P(Upper C and Upper C).
Solution
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Understand the situation
- The bag contains:
- A's,
- B's,
- C's.
- Total number of tiles = .
Step 2: Define the probabilities
- Probability of drawing a (on any draw):
Step 3: Multiply probabilities (since the draws are independent)
Since the first tile is replaced, the probability of drawing on the second draw is the same as the first draw. Thus:
Final Answer:
Would you like a detailed explanation of the independence concept or have other questions? 😊
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What is in the same scenario?
- How does the probability change if the first tile is not replaced?
- What is the probability of getting on the first draw and on the second draw?
- What is the probability of not drawing on either of the two draws?
- What is the total probability of drawing either or on the first draw?
Tip: For probability problems, always double-check whether the events are independent or dependent!
