Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Analyze the given set for question 11(a).

    The set 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.

    (i) Probability that the number is even.
    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 is:

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

    The probability that the number is even is 37\boxed{\frac{3}{7}}.

    (ii) Probability that the number is prime.
    The prime numbers in SS are numbers greater than 1 with only two divisors: 1 and themselves.
    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 is:

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

    The probability that the number is prime is 47\boxed{\frac{4}{7}}.

    (iii) Probability that the number is 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 is:

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

    The probability that the number is greater than 10 is 37\boxed{\frac{3}{7}}.

    (iv) Probability that the number is 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 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 that the number is a multiple of 3 is 27\boxed{\frac{2}{7}}.

  2. Analyze the bag contents for question 11(b).

    A bag contains:

    • 4 blue balls (B)
    • 3 green balls (G)
    • 3 yellow balls (Y) Total number of balls = 4+3+3=104 + 3 + 3 = 10. One ball is drawn and not replaced, then a second ball is drawn.

    (i) Probability of obtaining two yellow balls.
    Probability of drawing a yellow ball first (Y1Y_1):

    P(Y1)=Number of yellow ballsTotal balls=310P(Y_1) = \frac{\text{Number of yellow balls}}{\text{Total balls}} = \frac{3}{10}

    After drawing one yellow ball, there are 2 yellow balls left and 9 total balls.
    Probability of drawing a second yellow ball (Y2Y_2) given the first was yellow:

    P(Y2∣Y1)=Number of yellow balls remainingTotal balls remaining=29P(Y_2 | Y_1) = \frac{\text{Number of yellow balls remaining}}{\text{Total balls remaining}} = \frac{2}{9}

    Probability of two yellow balls:

    P(Y1 and Y2)=P(Y1)×P(Y2∣Y1)=310×29=690=115P(Y_1 \text{ and } Y_2) = P(Y_1) \times P(Y_2 | Y_1) = \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}}.

    (ii) Probability of obtaining two blue balls or two green balls.
    This is P(two blue balls)+P(two green balls)P(\text{two blue balls}) + P(\text{two green balls}).
    Probability of two blue balls (B1B_1 and B2B_2):

    P(B1)=410P(B_1) = \frac{4}{10} P(B2∣B1)=39P(B_2 | B_1) = \frac{3}{9} P(B1 and B2)=410×39=1290=215P(B_1 \text{ and } B_2) = \frac{4}{10} \times \frac{3}{9} = \frac{12}{90} = \frac{2}{15}

    Probability of two green balls (G1G_1 and G2G_2):

    P(G1)=310P(G_1) = \frac{3}{10} P(G2∣G1)=29P(G_2 | G_1) = \frac{2}{9} P(G1 and G2)=310×29=690=115P(G_1 \text{ and } G_2) = \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{90} = \frac{1}{15}

    Probability of two blue balls or two green balls:

    P(two blue or two green)=P(B1 and B2)+P(G1 and G2)=215+115=315=15P(\text{two blue or two green}) = P(B_1 \text{ and } B_2) + P(G_1 \text{ and } G_2) = \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}}.

    (iii) Probability of obtaining one blue ball and one green ball in any order.
    This means P(B1 and G2)+P(G1 and B2)P(B_1 \text{ and } G_2) + P(G_1 \text{ and } B_2).
    Probability of drawing a blue ball first, then a green ball (B1B_1 and G2G_2):

    P(B1)=410P(B_1) = \frac{4}{10}

    After drawing one blue ball, there are 3 green balls left and 9 total balls.

    P(G2∣B1)=39P(G_2 | B_1) = \frac{3}{9} 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}

    Probability of drawing a green ball first, then a blue ball (G1G_1 and B2B_2):

    P(G1)=310P(G_1) = \frac{3}{10}

    After drawing one green ball, there are 4 blue balls left and 9 total balls.

    P(B2∣G1)=49P(B_2 | G_1) = \frac{4}{9} 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}

    Probability of one blue ball and one green ball in any order:

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