- WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?arrow_forwardA common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time.

There are 10 colored balls: 2 red, 4 white, and 4 blue. The balls have been placed into a small bucket, and the bucket has been shaken thoroughly. You will be asked to reach into the bucket, without looking, and select two balls. Since the bucket has been shaken thoroughly, you can assume that each individual ball is selected at random with equal likelihood of being chosen. Now, close your eyes! Reach into the bucket, and pick a ball. (Click the red Pick-A-Ball! icon to select your ball.) Pick-A-Ball! What is the probability of selecting the color of ball that you just selected? (Enter your answer in decimal format and round it to two decimal places.) Assume you have put your first ball back into the bucket. Now, reach in (again, no peeking!), and pick your second ball.
