I know someone already put in a correct answer but here’s the one I wrote,

He is incorrect because the probability of pulling a dime out of his pocket is 2/8 but if he wishes to pull a dime again his probability would be 1/7. To find the total probability you would need to times the numbers which then gives you 2/56 but if you simplify you get 1/28 meaning you have a 1 in 28 chance of pulling two dimes in a row.

Answer: No. Choosing two dimes are dependent events. The probability of choosing the first dime is 1/4 and the probability of choosing the second dime is 1/7. The probability that both coins are dimes is (1/4)(1/7) = 1/28.

Event: Probability: A. Too much enamel 0.18 B. Too little enamel 0.24 C. Uneven application 0.33 D. No defects noted 0.47 


let P(AC) = x, P(BC) = y, then P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - (x+y) = 1-0.47 = 0.53 x+y = 0.22

4. <span>the probability of a paint defect that results to</span>
<span>the proper amount of paint, but uneven application?</span>
P(C) - P(AC) - P(BC) = 0.47 - 0.22 = 0.25 


A and B are disjoint so P(ABC) = 0, but you can have P(AC) and P(BC). you can't compute these separately here, but you can compute P(AC) + P(BC). By the way, P(AC) eg is just an abbreviated version of P(A∩C).
