A jar contains 12 red marbles numbered 1 to 12 and 6 blue marbles numbered 1 to

A jar contains 12 red marbles numbered 1 to 12 and 6 blue marbles numbered 1 to 6. A marble is drawn at random from the jar. Find the probability of the given event, please show your answers as reduced fractions. (a) The marble is red. P(red)= (b) The marble is odd-numbered. P(odd)= (c) The marble is red or odd-numbered. P(red or odd) = (d) The marble is blue or even-numbered. P(blue or even) = Question Help: Forum Post to forum Submit Question

(a)P(Red)=\dfrac{2}{3}\\(b)P(Odd) =\dfrac{1}{2}\\(c)P(\text{Red or Odd Numbered})=\dfrac{5}{6}\\(d)P(\text{Blue or Even Numbered})=\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Red Marbles{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12},n(R)=12

Number of Blue Marbles{1,2,3,4,5,6},n(B)=6

Total Number of Marbles, n(S)=6+12=18

(a)Probability that the Marble is Red

P(R)=\dfrac{n(R)}{n(S)} =\dfrac{12}{18} =\dfrac{2}{3}

(b)Probability that the marble is odd-numbered.

Number of Odd-Numbered Balls, n(O)=9

P(Odd)=\dfrac{n(O)}{n(S)} =\dfrac{9}{18} =\dfrac{1}{2}

(c)Probability that the marble is red or odd-numbered.

n(Red)=12

n(Odd Numbered marbles)=9

n(Red and Odd Numbered Marbles)=6

P(\text{Red or Odd Numbered})=P(Red)+P(Odd\:Numbered)-P(\text{Red and Odd Numbered)}\\=\dfrac{12}{18} +\dfrac{9}{18}-\dfrac{6}{18}  =\dfrac{15}{18}\\P(\text{Red or Odd Numbered})=\dfrac{5}{6}(d)Probability that the marble is blue or even-numbered.

n(Blue)=6

n(Even Numbered marbles)=9

n(Blue and Even Numbered Marbles)=3

P(\text{Blue or Even Numbered})=P(Blue)+P(Even\:Numbered)-P(\text{Blue and Even Numbered)}\\=\dfrac{6}{18} +\dfrac{9}{18}-\dfrac{3}{18}  =\dfrac{12}{18}\\P(\text{Blue or Even Numbered})=\dfrac{2}{3}
