Chapter 13.8, Problem 4CYU

To determine

To calculate: Probability of girls will bring the same color purse.

Answer to Problem 4CYU

  $\frac{1}{4}$ is the probability of girls will bring the same color purse.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Total no of observation $=8$

No of possible outcomes (events) $=2$

Calculation:

As given information is,

Total no of observation $=8$

No of possible outcomes (events) $=2$

Now, divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

So,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\left(A\right)=\frac{S\left(A\right)}{S\left(B\right)}\\ =\frac{2}{8}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\end{array}$

Therefore, Probability of girls will bring the same color purse is $\frac{1}{4}$ .
