Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in the game Scrabble, there are a total of 100 tiles. Of the 100 tiles, 42 tiles have the vowels A, E, I, O, and U printed on them, 56 tiles have the consonants printed on them, and 2 tiles are left blank.
a. If tiles are selected at random, the probability that the first tile drawn from the pile of 100 tiles is a vowel = [tex]\frac{42}{100} =0.42[/tex]
b. If tiles drawn are not replaced, the probability that the first two tiles selected are both vowels =[tex]0.42^2 = 0.1764[/tex]
c. Event A is drawing a vowel, event B is drawing a consonant, and event C is drawing a blank tile. A1 means a vowel is drawn on the first selection, B2 means a consonant is drawn on the second selection, and C2 means a blank tile is drawn on the second selection. Tiles are selected at random and without replacement.
i. Find P(A1 and B2). =[tex]\frac{42}{100} *\frac{56}{99} \\=0.2376[/tex]
ii. Find P(A1 and c2). =[tex]\frac{42}{100} *\frac{4}{99} \\=0.0170[/tex]
iii. Find P(A1 and A2).=[tex]\frac{42}{100} *\frac{41}{99} \\=0.1739[/tex]
