题目
A jar contains 3 red, 5 green, 2 blue, and 6 yellow marbles. A marble is chosen at random from the jar. After replacing the first marble, a second marble is chosen.
Quantity A
The probability of choosing a green marble and then a yellow marble
选项
A.The quantity in Column A is greater.
B.The quantity in Column B is greater.
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
罐中共有16颗弹珠。
因此,P(选到绿色弹珠) = 5/16
由于第一次选取的弹珠被放回罐中,P(选到黄色弹珠) = 6/16(罐中仍有16颗弹珠可供选择)
A项:P(第一次选绿色 **且** 第二次选黄色) = P(第一次选绿色) × P(第二次选黄色)
= P(第一次选绿色) × P(第二次选黄色)
= 5/16 × 6/16
= 30/256
= 15/128
B项:11/16
由于15/128明显小于1/2,而11/16明显大于1/2,因此B项 > A项
答案:B
