Question

Six slips of paper, with a different digit from 1 to 6 printed on each, are placed in a box. The papers are well mixed. One slip is drawn and replaced. The papers are well mixed, and a second slip is drawn. Find the probability of each of the following:
a) the first is marked with an odd number and the second with an even number (is it 1/6 and 3/6?)
b)the first is marked with a four and the second with a number less than four(is it (1/6)x(1/2)?
c)both slips are marked with an even number
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

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

a) 3/6 * 3/6 = ?

b) 1/6 * 1/2 = ?

c) 3/6 * 3/6 = ?

Answer 2

1/2
