Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
Let's address each question one at a time:

### Question 1
**Which of the following formulas is used to mathematically recognize and explain the conditional probability of event A, given event B?**

**Correct Answer:**
\[ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \text{ and } B)}{P(B)} \]
This formula correctly represents the conditional probability of event A given event B.

### Question 2
**Which of the following represents a dependent event?**

**Correct Answer:**
**Picking 2 snacks from the pantry without looking and keeping the first one before selecting the second one.**
This event is dependent because the outcome of the first selection affects the outcome of the second selection.

### Question 3
**Which of the following correctly interprets the probability of choosing 2 rare cards from the bin? Assume that the cards are pulled without replacement.**

**Correct Answer:**
\[\frac{5}{100} \cdot \frac{4}{99}\]
This expression captures the probability of first choosing one rare card and then choosing another without replacement.

### Question 4
**What is \( P(brown|black) \)?**

**Correct Answer:**
\[\frac{26}{100} \cdot \frac{47}{99}\]
This interpretation is correct if we consider the conditional probability of choosing brown given that black has already been chosen.

### Question 5
**What is the probability of hanging the blue painting first, and then the green?**

**Correct Answer:**
\[\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{4}\]
This probability calculation is correct because there are 5 paintings to choose from initially and then 4 remaining paintings after the first one has been hung.
