Q. There are two bags containing only yellow and purple marbles.Bag A has 9 purple marbles and 11 yellow marbles.Bag B has 6 purple marbles and 6 yellow marbles.A marble is randomly chosen from each bag.List these events from least likely to most likely.Event 1: choosing a green marble from Bag A.Event 2: choosing a purple marble from Bag A.Event 3: choosing a purple or yellow marble from Bag B.Event 4: choosing a yellow marble from Bag B.Least likely Most likely
Calculate Probability Event 1: Calculate the probability of Event 1: choosing a green marble from Bag A.Since there are no green marbles in Bag A, the probability is 0.
Calculate Probability Event 2: Calculate the probability of Event 2: choosing a purple marble from Bag A.There are 9 purple marbles out of 20 total marbles in Bag A.Probability = 209.
Calculate Probability Event 3: Calculate the probability of Event 3: choosing a purple or yellow marble from Bag B.Since all marbles in Bag B are either purple or yellow, the probability is 1.
Calculate Probability Event 4: Calculate the probability of Event 4: choosing a yellow marble from Bag B.There are 6 yellow marbles out of 12 total marbles in Bag B.Probability =126=21.
List Events Likelihood: List the events from least likely to most likely.Least likely: Event 1 (probability 0)Next: Event 2 (probability 209)Next: Event 4 (probability 21)Most likely: Event 3 (probability 1)
