Probability

Hi guys! Welcome back. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their holiday :] To start off the morning, Mr. K discussed our DEV projects. He also mentioned the pretty cool links along the right side that could help us study for our exam [y] We then started discussing and solving the following questions:



DEPENDENT PROBABILITY: Depends on the first step.
EX 1. A marble is drawn, not replaced and a second marble is drawn from the bag containing
three red and three blue marbles. What is the probability that the second marble is blue?







INDEPENDENT PROBABILITY: Does not depend on the first step.
EX 1. A marble is drawn, replaced and a second marble is drawn from the bag containing three red and three blue marbles. What is the probability that the second marble is blue?






1a. A coin is flipped twice. Draw a tree diagram of the sample space and list the possibilities of each outcome.





b. A coin is flipped three times. Draw a tree diagram of the sample space and list the possibilities of each outcome.





In a family of three children, with boys and girls equally likely to be born, what is the probability that exactly two kids are girls?
