Question
A bag contains 12 movie tickets and 8 concert tickets. You randomly choose 1 ticket and do not replace it. Then you randomly choose another ticket. Find the probability that both events A and B will occur. Round your answer to the nearest tenths place.Event A: The first ticket is a concert ticket.Event B: The second ticket is a concert ticket.
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.
-
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:
-
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:
-
Calculate the combined probability of both events A and B occurring:
- The combined probability is the product of the probabilities of each event:
-
Round the answer to the nearest tenths place:
- The probability rounded to the nearest tenths place is:
Therefore, the probability that both events A and B will occur is approximately 0.1.
