There are 14 yellow blocks in the box
How to determine the number of yellow blocks?
The given parameters are:
- P(Red) = 1/3
- P(Red and Yellow) = 1/12
- Sample, n = 24
The number of yellow blocks is calculated as:
Yellow = (1 - P(Red) - P(Red and Yellow)) * n
So, we have:
Yellow = (1 - 1/3 - 1/12) * 24
Evaluate
Yellow = 14
Hence, there are 14 yellow blocks in the box
