Question

If 18% of the beads in a bag are green, 25% are red, and 40% are purple, what is the probability of choosing a green bead and then a purple bead, if you replace the bead in between?

a. 22%

b. 58%

c. 7.2%

d. 4.5%

Answer 1

the answer is a)22 %

Answer 2

Answer: c. 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability of getting a green bead = 18% = 0.18

The probability of getting a purple bead = 40% =0.40

If replacement occurs, then the probability of choosing a green bead and then a purple bead will be :-

$0.18\times0.40=0.072$

Hence, the probability of choosing a green bead and then a purple bead = 0.072
