Question 90733: A box contains one yellow , two red, and three green balls. Two
balls are randomly chosen without replacement. Define the following
events:
A:{one of the balls is yellow}
B:{at least one ball is red}
C:{both balls are green}
D{both balls are the same color}
i`m not sure how to start this really usually i make a list
or tree or venn diagram , or can just look and eliminate
to do these , usually the problems will have numbers or i have
to fill in the diagram, but none have had balls and colors
i`m not sure if i need to use the probability like 1/6 for the
yellow ball and try and figure it out or even if the sample
set will be all the balls or will be different on each one.
The formulas we have been using are like
P(A|B)=P(A u B)/ P(B)
P (A u B)= P(A)x P(A|B)
P (A n B)= P(A) x P(B)
P (A|B)= P(A)
P (B|A)= P (B)
etc.
