I need help .. ?
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers 1,2,3, and 4 are written on separate slips of paper and placed in a hat. Two slips of paper are then randomly, one after the other and without replacement.
\n" ); document.write( "a) Make a tree diagram showing the 12 possible outcomes of this experiment.
\n" ); document.write( "I can't draw a tree for you. You have to see it.
\n" ); document.write( "Form a column with the numbers 1,2,3,4
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "To the right of 1 put 2,3,and 4
\n" ); document.write( "To the right of 2 put 1,3,and 4
\n" ); document.write( "To the right of 3 put 1,2,and 4
\n" ); document.write( "To the right of 4 put 1,2,and 3
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Do you see the 4*3 = 12 outcomes??
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Find the probability that the sum of the numbers picked is 6 or more.
\n" ); document.write( "Explain it as well..
\n" ); document.write( "1 followed by 2,3,and 4 never reaches a sum >= 6
\n" ); document.write( "2 followed by 4 reaches 6
\n" ); document.write( "3 followed by 4 reaches >=6
\n" ); document.write( "4 followed by 2,3 reaches >=6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P(sum >= 6) = 4/12 = 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "====================================
