Question

I have 1 orange highlighter , 3 yellow highlighters and 2 pink highlighters and 1 blue highlighter.

  • Determine the probability for the multi-stage event.
  • Be sure to indicate the probability of selecting the first color and then the second color.
  • For example, what is the probability of selecting red then yellow. Be sure to identify the probability selecting the first color and then identify the probability of selecting the second color. 
  • Show how to calculate the probability of the multi-stage experiment.
  • Determine the overall probability of the multi-stage experiment.
  • Show the process of reducing the probability when possible.
  • Make sure that for one of the selections that you choose the same color twice.
  • Such as yellow then yellow.
  • This means you will conduct THREE different experiments and calculate THREE different multi-stage event probabilities.
