1)  

Four rotten eggs are mixed with 13 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 417


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 13

Number of rotten eggs = 4

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 13 + 4 = 17

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 17


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  4 =
417  
 
 n(S)17 

 



2)  

Five rotten eggs are mixed with 19 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 524


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 19

Number of rotten eggs = 5

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 19 + 5 = 24

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 24


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  5 =
524  
 
 n(S)24 

 



3)  

Three rotten eggs are mixed with 13 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 316


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 13

Number of rotten eggs = 3

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 13 + 3 = 16

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 16


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  3 =
316  
 
 n(S)16 

 



4)  

Two rotten eggs are mixed with 14 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 18


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 14

Number of rotten eggs = 2

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 14 + 2 = 16

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 16


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  2 =
18  
 
 n(S)16 

 



5)  

Three rotten eggs are mixed with 11 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 314


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 11

Number of rotten eggs = 3

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 11 + 3 = 14

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 14


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  3 =
314  
 
 n(S)14 

 



6)  

Two rotten eggs are mixed with 11 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 213


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 11

Number of rotten eggs = 2

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 11 + 2 = 13

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 13


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  2 =
213  
 
 n(S)13 

 



7)  

Five rotten eggs are mixed with 20 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 15


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 20

Number of rotten eggs = 5

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 20 + 5 = 25

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 25


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  5 =
15  
 
 n(S)25 

 



8)  

Three rotten eggs are mixed with 15 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 16


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 15

Number of rotten eggs = 3

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 15 + 3 = 18

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 18


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  3 =
16  
 
 n(S)18 

 



9)  

Two rotten eggs are mixed with 13 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 215


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 13

Number of rotten eggs = 2

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 13 + 2 = 15

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 15


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  2 =
215  
 
 n(S)15 

 



10)  

Three rotten eggs are mixed with 16 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. what is the probability of choosing a rotten egg

  Answer: 319


SOLUTION 1 :

Given number of good eggs = 16

Number of rotten eggs = 3

Total number of eggs, n(S) = 16 + 3 = 19

Let (A) be the event of choosing a rotten egg = 19


P(A) =
 
 n(A) =  3 =
319  
 
 n(S)19
