Solution

To find the probability that both events A and B will occur, we need to calculate the probability of each event happening in sequence and then multiply those probabilities together.

  1. Calculate the probability of Event A:

    • Event A is drawing a concert ticket first.
    • There are 8 concert tickets out of a total of 20 tickets (12 movie tickets + 8 concert tickets).
    • The probability of drawing a concert ticket first is: P(A)=820=0.4 P(A) = \frac{8}{20} = 0.4
  2. Calculate the probability of Event B given Event A has occurred:

    • Event B is drawing a concert ticket second, given that the first ticket drawn was a concert ticket.
    • After drawing the first concert ticket, there are now 7 concert tickets left out of a total of 19 tickets (since one ticket has already been drawn and not replaced).
    • The probability of drawing a concert ticket second, given that the first ticket was a concert ticket, is: P(BA)=7190.3684 P(B|A) = \frac{7}{19} \approx 0.3684
  3. Calculate the combined probability of both events A and B occurring:

    • The combined probability is the product of the probabilities of each event: P(A and B)=P(A)×P(BA)=0.4×0.36840.1474 P(A \text{ and } B) = P(A) \times P(B|A) = 0.4 \times 0.3684 \approx 0.1474
  4. Round the answer to the nearest tenths place:

    • The probability rounded to the nearest tenths place is: 0.14740.1 0.1474 \approx 0.1

Therefore, the probability that both events A and B will occur is approximately 0.1.
