Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

There are 5 odd numbers from 1 to 10. All three of them must be odd when drawn. I have to assume that there is no replacements.

Probability (odd) = (5 *  4 * 3) / (10 * 9 * 8) = 60 / 720

Probability (odd) = 0.083333

Part B

This is a little harder because 1 even number will turn everything even. So the way to handle this is to assume that there is (1 - probability(odd)) *720  that you have even

So the chances of an even result is 1 - odd/ total or

(1 - 1/12) * 720 =   660/720 = 0.917

Answer

Odd: 0.0833

Even: 0.917
