A jar contains 38 red marbles numbered 1 to 38 and 44 blue marbles numbered 1 to 44. A marble is drawn at random from the jar. Find the probability of the given event. Please enter reduced fractions.

(a) The marble is red. P(red)=

(b) The marble is odd-numbered. P(odd)=

(c) The marble is red or odd-numbered. P(red or odd) =

(d) The marble is blue or even-numbered. P(blue or even) =

Solutions

Expert Solution

total number of marbles = (38+44) = 82

number of red marbles = 38

number of odd red marbles = number of even red marbles = 38/2 = 19

number of blue marbles = 44

number of odd blue marbles= number of even blue marbles = 44/2 = 22

total number of even marbles = total number of odd marbles = 82/2 = 41

a).

b).

what is the probability? A jar contains 4 red marbles, numbered 1 to 4, and 12 blue marbles numbered 1 to 12. a) A marble is chosen at random. If you’re told the marble is blue, what is the probability that it has the number 2 on it? b) The first marble is replaced, and another marble is chosen at random. If you’re told the marble has the number 1 on it, what is the probability the marble is blue?
