Answer:

If Y represents the number of green balls then it can have values from 0- 5

that is it can have all the value  0,1,2,3,4 and 5.

The probability of getting both balss green without replacement is 0.27778

Step-by-step explanation:

If the balls are not replaced then this is the dependent event .

The probability of getting the first ball is given be = 5/9

where 5 is the number of green balls and 9 is the total number of balls.

The probability of getting the second ball green given that first is also green is  = 5/9* 4/8= 20/72= 0.2778

If Y represents the number of green balls then it can have values from 0- 5

that is it can have all the value  0,1,2,3,4 and 5.

0 means there can be no green balls or white balls.

1 means there can be one green ball.

2 means there can be 2 green balls and so on.

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of probability to calculate the chance of an event to occur, so you have to:

the chance of the event is 0.2778%

So organizing the information given in the statement is:

  • If the balls are not replaced then this is the dependent event .
  • The probability of getting the first ball is given be = 5/9
  • 5 is the number of green balls and 9 is the total number of balls.

So with this information we can write that:

[tex]5/9* 4/8= 20/72= 0.2778[/tex]
