8. A bag of fruit contains 4 apples, 1 plum, 2 apricots, and 3 oranges. Pieces of fruit are drawn twice with replacement. What is P(apple, then
apricot)? (1 point)

a 4/5
b 2/25
c 3/25***
d 3/5

9. A coin is flipped three times. How the does P(H, H, H) compare to P(H, T, H)? (1 point)

A. P(H, H, H) is greater than P(H, T, H)
B.P(H, T, H) is greater than P(H, H, H).
c.The probabilities are the same.***
d.There is no way to tell with the information given.

10. A coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. What is P(heads, a number less than 5)? (1 point)

B 5/12
C 2/3***
D 5/6
im stuck help me

1 answer

7. Disagree.

8. If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

4/10 * 2/10 = ?

9. Correct

10. P(heads) = 1/2

P(<5) = P(4 or 3 or 2 or 1)

Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.

1/2 * 4/6 = 4/12 = ?
