The document discusses four probability problems involving choosing items randomly with or without replacement from finite sets. The first problem involves choosing stuffed animals from a toy bin. The second involves choosing dog food brands from options at a pet store. The third involves choosing juice boxes from options in a cooler. The fourth involves choosing letters from scrabble tiles.

02 ACTIVITY 4

Determine whether the events are independent or dependent then find the
probability. Show the complete solution. (4 items x 10 points)

1. Miriam randomly chooses 2 items for the child she is babysitting from a
toy bin that contains 12 toys, 8 stuffed animals, and 3 board games. What
is the probability that she chose 2 stuffed animals as the first two choices?

Answer:
 Dependent
Given:
total number of choices = 23
probability of picking a stuffed animal = 8/23.
probability of choosing a second stuffed animal = 7/22

8/23 x 7/22 = 56/506


= 0.11 or 11%

2. Arman and Gaylee went to a pet store to buy dog food for their dog Loki.
They chose from 10 brands of dry food, 6 brands of canned food, and 3
brands of pet snacks. What is the probability that they both chose dry food,
if Arman randomly chose first and liked the first brand he picked up?

Answer:
 Independent
P (dry food) = dry/total
=10/19 P (dry, dry) = P (dry) * P (dry)
=10/19 * 10/19
= 0.28 or 28%

3. Joshua’s mother has 10 orange juice boxes, 7 grape juice boxes, and 3
lemonade juice boxes in the cooler for Joshua and his friends. Joshua
randomly takes a juice box from the cooler, then randomly chooses another
juice box without replacing the first. Find the probability that both juice
boxes are lemonade.

Answer:
 Dependent
Given:
P(lemonade) = 3/20
P (lemonade given lemonade) = 2/19
P (lemonade and lemonade) = 3/20 * 2/19
= 3/190 or 0.01578947368 or 1.578947368%

4. You have a bag of 15 scrabble tiles. 3 of the tiles are O and 2 of the tiles
are U. What is the probability of getting O and then U?

Answer
 Independent
 Given:
Total scrabble tiles = 15
P(O) Probability of getting O = 3
P(U) Probability of getting U = 2

=3/15 * 2/15
=2/75 or 0.02666666667 or 2.666666667%
