I have two bags of counters.

The first bag contains two red counters and one blue counter.

The second bag contains one red counter, one blue counter, and two yellow counters.

I take a counter at random from both bags.

a) What is the probability that the two counters will be the same color?

b) What is the probability that exactly one of the counters will be red?

Answer :

Answer:

oooooh Mathswatch.a=3/12 b=7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

a=You need to list all the probability out

There is a total of 24 possibility and 6 of them are the same colour. Simplify it, it becomes 3/12

b= see the photo. (sorry the photo wasn't too good, I am on a computer)

There are a total of 14 combination that has one red counter in it, simplify it, it is 7/12
