Answer to Problem 10WE
The probability for the given event is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The event is “a red bed.”
Calculation:
Based on the problem, it can be assumed that there is 1 turquoise and 1 yellow bead. Then there are 2 white beads, and 4 red beads. That means in this scenario, there are total of 8 beads. So, 4 out of the 8 beads are red.
The probability of the given event is as follows.
Therefore, the probability for the given event is

Answer to Problem 10WE
The probability for the given event is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The event is “a white bed.”
Calculation:
Based on the problem, it can be assumed that there is 1 turquoise and 1 yellow bead. Then there are 2 white beads, and 4 red beads. That means in this scenario, there are total of 8 beads. So, 2 out of the 8 beads are white.
The probability of the given event is as follows.
Therefore, the probability for the given event is

- Amy and Samiha have a hat that contains two playing cards, one ace and one king. They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
