Find the probability for the experiment of drawing two marbles (without replacement) at random from a bag containing one green, two yellow, and three red marbles.
1. Both marbles are red.
2. Both marbles are yellow.
3. Neither marble is yellow.
4. The marbles are of different colors.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of  green marbles =1

Number of  yellow marbles =2

Number of red marbles=3

Total number of marbles=1+2+3=6

1.The probability for drawing two marbles of red color  without replacement=[tex]\frac{3}{6}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

By using the formula : Probability,[tex]P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{Total\;number\;of\;cases}[/tex]

2.The probability for drawing two marbles of yellow color without replacement=[tex]\frac{2}{6}\times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

3.The probability for drawing two marbles without replacement when neither marbles is yellow=[tex]1-\frac{1}{15}=\frac{15-1}{15}=\frac{14}{15}[/tex]

By using the formula P(E')=1-P(E)

4.The probability for drawing two marbles without replacement when the marbles are of same color=[tex]\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1+3}{15}=\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

The probability for drawing two marbles without replacement when the marbles are of different color=[tex]1-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{15-4}{15}=\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

The probabilities for the given cases would be as follows:

1). Both Marbles being red

1/5

2). Both Marbles being Yellow

1/15

3). Neither Marbles being Yellow

14/15

4). Marbles being of different colors

11/15

Given that

Probability(P) = [tex]Favorable outcomes/Total outcomes[/tex]

No. of red marbles = 3

No. of Green marbles = 1

No. of yellow marbles = 2

1). Probability(P) of Both Marbles being red

[tex]= 3/6[/tex] × [tex]2/5 = 1/5[/tex]

2). Probability(P) of Both Marbles being Yellow

[tex]= 2/6[/tex] × [tex]1/5 = 1/15[/tex]

3). Probability(P) of Neither Marbles being Yellow

[tex]= 1 - 1/15\\= 14/15[/tex]

4). Probability(P) of Marbles being of different colors

[tex]= 1 - 4/15(marbles of same color)\\= 11/15[/tex]
