a bag contains 6 blue balls 3 green balls and 3 yellow balls. what is the probability of choosing one blue ball then a yellow ball with replacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

probability of blue ball is 1/2

probability of yellow ball is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given  6 blue balls 3 green balls and 3 yellow balls

Total number of balls are: 12

[tex]probability=\frac{number of favourable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}[/tex]

we have to find the probability of choosing a blue ball:

[tex]\text{probability of choosing a blue ball}=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then the ball was placed in the bag since, it is given replacement

Now, we have to find probability of choosing a yellow ball

[tex]\text{probability of choosing a yellow ball}=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Answer: 1/8
