A bag contains 11 red and 10 blue marbles. You are asked to select two marbles from the bag. The first marble selected will not be placed back into the bag. Q.1.1.1 Construct a probability tree, indicating the various possible outcomes that may occur, and each of their probabilities. Give the probability values in fraction form. Q.1.1.2 What is the probability that the two marbles selected will be different colors? Give the probability as a percentage to two decimal places.

Two dice are rolled at the same time. Find the probability of each event listed when the probability is given as P(die 1, die 2). For example, if you want to know the probability that you roll a 3 on the first die and and a 5 on the second die, it would be written as P(3, 5). Give your answer as a decimal rounded to the thousandth place (three numbers after the decimal). P(1, 1) = P(both odd) P(even, odd): P(2 anywhere) = P(sum of 8) = P(sum of 1) =
Suppose a weather report indicates that the probability of rain this week is 0.20. This week Next week According to the report, if it rains this week, then the probability of rain next Rain week is 0.33. If it does not rain this week, then the probability of rain next week is 0.17. The tree diagram models this weather report. 0.33 Rain 0.20 Determine the probability that it will not rain for the next two weeks. Express 0.67 No rain your answer as a decimal precise to two decimal places. Rain 0.17 probability = 0.80 No rain 0.83 No rain
