P(Green)  = Number of Green / Total  of Red, Yellow and Green   =  8 / 18  = 4 / 9

 

P(Red)  =  Number of Red / Total  of Red, Yellow and Green   =  6 / 18  =  1 / 3

 

 

 

cool cool cool

Hi, BruceWayne.

 

CPhill is correct for the second question.

 

The question is asking what the probability of Jack picking a red one and eating it, not the probability of picking a red after he eats one of them.

 

6 red / 18 total

 

simplifies to

 

1/3

 

1/3 is the answer.

 

(BTW, 6/17 cannot be simplified any further than it already is.)

I looked again, and the second problem doesn't really make much sense.

 

It's asking the probability of Jack picking red if he ate one.

 

How would we know which color he ate?

 

IDK, but maybe if you want a clear answer, you could rephrase the question?

 

Thanks,
