To calculate: The probability that numbers are odd provided that sum of the numbers are even.
Answer to Problem 19E
The probability that numbers are odd provided that sum of the numbers are even is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
From a box two tiles numbered from 1 to 9 are drawn at random.
Formula used:
Probability of an event E is
Given an event Q, the conditional probability of event A is
Calculation:
Consider the provided information that from a box two tiles numbered from 1 to 9 are drawn at random.
Let 2 tiles be
The total number of ways to draw 2 tiles are
From 1 to 9 there 5 odd numbers and 4 even numbers.
Let A be an event that number is odd and B be an event that sum is even.
The possible combinations such that numbers are odd.
There are 5 ways to choose first tile and 4 ways to choose the second tile as the event is without replacement.
Total number of ways are
The combinations that sum is even.
Sum of two odd numbers is even and sum of two even numbers is also even.
There are 20 ways to select two odd number.
For sum is even, there are 4 ways to choose first tile and 3 ways to choose the second tile as the event is without replacement.
The number of ways are
Total number of ways are
Recall that probability of an event E is
Probability that event that sum is even.
Probability that numbers are odd and sum is even.
Recall that given an event Q, the conditional probability of event A is
The probability that numbers are odd provided that sum of the numbers are even.
Thus, the probability that numbers are odd provided that sum of the numbers are even is
