If you post what YOU THINK (no guessing!) the answers are, someone here might check them for you.
okay this is what I thought
1. A
2. B
3.B
4.D
5. A
6.C
1. your last choice is dependent , thus NOT independent
D
2. prob(heads and 3) = (1/2)(1/6) = 1/12
D
3. prob = 1/4, so of 36 cases, we can expect 9
C
4. prob(4door) = .56, so of 300 asked we expect 168
B
5. Prob(defective) = 7/50
number defective in 1000 = (7/50)(1000) = 140
A , YEAHH, you guessed one right!!
6. number of cones = (5)(9) = 45
B
These are very basic and elementary question in probability, I think you are just guessing

A. Landing on heads after tossing a coin and rolling a 3 on a 6 sided nuber cube.
B. Choosing a marble from a jar and landing on tails after tossing a coin.
C. Choosing a 5 from a deck of cards, replacing it, and then choosing an ace as the second card.
D. Choosing a card at random from a deck, without replacing it, and choosing another card at random.
This is because the probability of choosing an ace as the second card is affected by the fact that a 5 was previously chosen and replaced in the deck.
Total possible outcomes = 3 necklaces * 2 bracelets * 3 hats = 18
The desired outcome is Sammy choosing a red necklace and a yellow bracelet. According to the table, the probability of each of these individual events occurring is:
Probability of choosing a red necklace = 1/4
Probability of choosing a yellow bracelet = 1/2
The probability of both of these events happening together is the product of the individual probabilities:
Probability of choosing a red necklace and yellow bracelet = (1/4) * (1/2) = 1/8
So, the probability of Sammy choosing a red necklace and a yellow bracelet is 1/8 or 0.125.
