Complete question :

Determine the probability that two pears are selected The probability is(Simplity your answer.)

d) Determine the probability that a card containing a PEAR and then a card containing a question mark are selected

Answer:

(QQ, QP, QM, QP, PP, MP, QM, PM, MM) ;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Marking on card :

Question mark = Q

Pear = P

Moon = M

Selecting two cards with replacement :

Sample space :

_____ Q ____ P _____ M

Q ___QQ ___QP ___ QM

P ___QP ____PP ___ MP

M__ QM ____PM ___MM

(QQ, QP, QM, QP, PP, MP, QM, PM, MM) ;

1/9 ;

2/9

P(selecting 2 pears) = (PP)

P(p) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes = 1 / 9

Card containing a pear and then a question mark ;

(PQ or QP).

P(p) = 1/3 ; P(Q) = 1/3

P(PQ) + P(QP)

(1/3 * 1/3) + (/3 * 1/3)

1/9 + 1/9

(1 + 1) / 9

= 2/9
