Here is the solution to question 11.

Part 11 (a):
The set of numbers is S={3,5,6,8,11,14,17}S = \{3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17\}.
The total number of elements in the set is n(S)=7n(S) = 7.

  1. Find the probability of choosing an even number.

    The even numbers in SS are {6,8,14}\{6, 8, 14\}.
    The number of even numbers is n(even)=3n(\text{even}) = 3.
    The probability of choosing an even number is:

    P(even)=n(even)n(S)=37P(\text{even}) = \frac{n(\text{even})}{n(S)} = \frac{3}{7}

    The probability of choosing an even number is 37\boxed{\frac{3}{7}}.

  2. Find the probability of choosing a prime number.

    A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
    The prime numbers in SS are {3,5,11,17}\{3, 5, 11, 17\}.
    The number of prime numbers is n(prime)=4n(\text{prime}) = 4.
    The probability of choosing a prime number is:

    P(prime)=n(prime)n(S)=47P(\text{prime}) = \frac{n(\text{prime})}{n(S)} = \frac{4}{7}

    The probability of choosing a prime number is 47\boxed{\frac{4}{7}}.

  3. Find the probability of choosing a number greater than 10.

    The numbers in SS greater than 10 are {11,14,17}\{11, 14, 17\}.
    The number of elements greater than 10 is n(>10)=3n(>10) = 3.
    The probability of choosing a number greater than 10 is:

    P(>10)=n(>10)n(S)=37P(>10) = \frac{n(>10)}{n(S)} = \frac{3}{7}

    The probability of choosing a number greater than 10 is 37\boxed{\frac{3}{7}}.

  4. Find the probability of choosing a multiple of 3.

    The multiples of 3 in SS are {3,6}\{3, 6\}.
    The number of multiples of 3 is n(multiple of 3)=2n(\text{multiple of 3}) = 2.
    The probability of choosing a multiple of 3 is:

    P(multiple of 3)=n(multiple of 3)n(S)=27P(\text{multiple of 3}) = \frac{n(\text{multiple of 3})}{n(S)} = \frac{2}{7}

    The probability of choosing a multiple of 3 is 27\boxed{\frac{2}{7}}.

    Part 11 (b):
    A bag contains 4 blue balls, 3 green balls, and 3 yellow balls.
    The total number of balls is 4+3+3=104 + 3 + 3 = 10.
    One ball is drawn at random and not replaced. A second ball is then drawn.

  5. Find the probability of obtaining two yellow balls.

    The probability of drawing a yellow ball first is 310\frac{3}{10}.
    After drawing one yellow ball, there are 2 yellow balls left and 9 total balls left.
    The probability of drawing a second yellow ball is 29\frac{2}{9}.
    The probability of drawing two yellow balls is:

    P(two yellow balls)=310×29=690=115P(\text{two yellow balls}) = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{90} = \frac{1}{15}

    The probability of obtaining two yellow balls is 115\boxed{\frac{1}{15}}.

  6. Find the probability of obtaining two blue balls or two green balls.

    The probability of drawing two blue balls is:

    P(two blue balls)=410×39=1290=215P(\text{two blue balls}) = \frac{4}{10} \times \frac{3}{9} = \frac{12}{90} = \frac{2}{15}

    The probability of drawing two green balls is:

    P(two green balls)=310×29=690=115P(\text{two green balls}) = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{90} = \frac{1}{15}

    The probability of drawing two blue balls or two green balls is the sum of their individual probabilities:

    P(two blue or two green balls)=P(two blue balls)+P(two green balls)P(\text{two blue or two green balls}) = P(\text{two blue balls}) + P(\text{two green balls}) P(two blue or two green balls)=215+115=315=15P(\text{two blue or two green balls}) = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}

    The probability of obtaining two blue balls or two green balls is 15\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}.

  7. Find the probability of obtaining one blue ball and one green ball in any order.

    This means either (blue first, then green) or (green first, then blue).
    The probability of drawing a blue ball first, then a green ball:

    P(B1 and G2)=410×39=1290=215P(B_1 \text{ and } G_2) = \frac{4}{10} \times \frac{3}{9} = \frac{12}{90} = \frac{2}{15}

    The probability of drawing a green ball first, then a blue ball:

    P(G1 and B2)=310×49=1290=215P(G_1 \text{ and } B_2) = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{12}{90} = \frac{2}{15}

    The probability of obtaining one blue ball and one green ball in any order is the sum of these probabilities:

    P(one blue and one green)=P(B1 and G2)+P(G1 and B2)P(\text{one blue and one green}) = P(B_1 \text{ and } G_2) + P(G_1 \text{ and } B_2) P(one blue and one green)=215+215=415P(\text{one blue and one green}) = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{4}{15}

    The probability of obtaining one blue ball and one green ball in any order is 415\boxed{\frac{4}{15}}.
