Question

1. determine the probability of drawing 1 orange and 1 white card if a pack of cards contains 7 orange cards, 8 green cards, and 2 blue cards

2. Determine if the following function can be a probability distribution. Explain your answer. P (x) = 1/2 (x-2) for x = 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer 1

1)

Total number of possible ways = 17c2

no of ways to draw 1 orange card from 7 cards = 7c1

no of ways to draw 1 white card = 0 (because there are no white cards in the pack )

probability =

ans:0
