Example 3.24 from Statistics, 3.5 Tree and Venn Diagrams
d. Using the tree diagram, calculate P(R on 1st draw AND B on 2nd draw).
Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.
d. Follow the path on the tree. There are three ways to get a red marble on the first draw and eight ways to get a blue on the second draw. There are 3 × 8 = 24 ways to draw red then blue, so P(RB) = .
Can you think of another way to find this probability? P(R on 1st draw AND B on 2nd draw) = P(RB) = =
How did it go?
