Hi
1. P(daff) = 6%28left%29%2F16%28total+left%29 = 37.5%
2. P(2R) = %282%2F5%29%281%2F4%29+=+2%2F20+=+1%2F10 Note Totals in denominators
3. P(BlP and Ghighlighter) = %285%2F13%29%2B+%285%2A8%29=+10%2F104+=+5%2F52 Mutually exclusive events (Note Totals in denominators)
4. always recommend listing totals on charts
