Re: Probablility again!

Probability eh?

For 1, it would be a 1/8 chance of getting 3 reds

For 2 it would be 4/8 for 2 reds

For 3, it will be 7/8

Below is a tree diagram for it

Must be a coincidence, the past 2 weeks i have been learning this stuff as well.

1. (3/5)^3
2. (3/5)^2*(2/5)*3
3. (3/5)*(2/5)^2*3+(3/5)^2*(2/5)*3+(3/5)^3

I believe that is right. I generally don't do it this way. I got a calculator I just plug the problem into and it spits out the answer.

why do people always think that this is a multiple choice question. it is a question with multiple parts. 1,2, and 3 are not answer choices, they are questions related to the givens. and it seems like if u didnt know how to do the problem u shouldnt be trying to help, even as a jest, as it is pointless and doesnt help the person who posted the topic.
