✔ 最佳答案

(a)
P(1 grey umbrella in home)=P(1 grey umbrella in home to office)xP(one blue umbrella return to home)=(2/7)x(1/2)=1/7
(b)
P(1 blue umbrella in her office)=P(1 blue umbrella to office from home)+P(1 grey umbrella to office→1blue umbrella to home from office)+P(1 yellow umbrella to office from home→1blue umbrella to home from office)
=(2/7)+(2/7)x(1/2)+(3/7)x(1/2)=9/14
(c)P(1 blue umbrella in her office)+P(no blue umbrellas in her office)=1
P(no blue umbrellas in her office)=1-9/14=5/14
