Respuesta :
you have a 1/12.5 chance of getting a white egg. so the theoretical possibility of getting only two white eggs is 1/156.25. so it is very unlikely to get two white eggs
Answer:
0.029
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year, the porgs laid 30 dotted eggs, 40 grey eggs, and 15 white eggs.
Total eggs = 30+40+15 = 85 eggs
White eggs = 15
So, probability of getting 1 white egg = [tex]\frac{\text{No. of white eggs}}{\text{Total no. of eggs}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{85}[/tex]
Remaining white eggs = 14
Total eggs remaining = 84
Probability of getting 1 white egg on second draw = [tex]\frac{14}{84}[/tex]
So, the probability that you would only collect 2 white eggs =[tex]\frac{15}{85} \times \frac{14}{84}[/tex]
=0.029
Hence the probability that you would only collect 2 white eggs is 0.029.
