A bag contains 8 red, 6 green and 10 blue cubes of the same size. Players take turns a cube from a bag. If player A picks a red cube and holds it, what is the probability player B picking a red cube? What about player B choosing a blue cube – would that be different? Explain.The probability of you getting pass marks in next math test is 65%. What are the odds in favor of you passing the next Maths test? A bag contains 11 red and 12 blue balls. A ball is picked at random from the bag. What are the odds in favor of picking a red ball?
The probability of player B picking a red cube is: (8-1)/(8-1+6+10) =7/23 or 30.4%
No, the probability of player B chose a blue cube: 10/(8-1+6+10)=10/23 or 43.5%
