Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 Jonathan (red), 4 Granny Smith (green), and 5 Golden Delicious (yellow) apples in the bag.
a) Select 3 apples with replacement. Find the probability that all there are green.
- Given that we are taking all apples with replacement, the probability of getting a green apples remains the same in all 3 trials. Therefore the probability here is computed as:
- = (Number of green apples/Total apples)
- = (4/17)^3
- = 0.0130
Therefore 0.0130 is the required probability here.
b) Select 3 apples with replacement. Find the probability that none are red
Probability that none are red is computed here as:
- = (Number of non red apples/Total apples)
- = (9/17)^3
- = 0.14838
Therefore 0.14838 is the required probability here
c) Select 4 apples with replacement. Find the probability that you get at least 2 red apples
- Probability that we get at least 2 red apples when 4 apples are drawn is computed here as:
- = 1 - (Probability that no red apple is taken out when 4 apples are taken out + Probability that 1 red apple is taken out when 4 apples are taken out)
- = 1 - 8C0 x 9C4 + 8C1 x 9C3 / 17C4
- = 1 - 0.3353
- = 0.6647
Therefore 0.6647 is the required probability here
d) Select 2 apples with replacement. Find the probability that the second apple is yellow given that the first apple is red.
- Given that the first apple is red, we are left with 16 apples out of which 5 are yellow. Therefore the required probability here is computed as:
- = 5/16
- = 0.3125
Therefore 0.3125 is the required probability here
