The probability of rolling an even number of a die and drawing a red marble from a bag containing 3 red marble and 5 green marbles must be expressed as a reduced fraction of the form a/b

what is the value of a and b?

1 answer

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events, not dividing.

Fraction = desired event/total possibilities

die = 3/6

Marble = 3/8
