Question

1. nadia owns 9 red shirts and 9 blue shirts. she randomly chooses a shirt for the day, and she gets a red shirt. at the end of the day, she puts it into the washing basket. 3a will this affect the chances of choosing a red shirt tomorrow? the correct option was b no yes b 5 great job! 3b will this affect the chances of choosing a blue shirt tomorrow? yes a no b

Explanation:

3b

Initially, total shirts = 9 (red) + 9 (blue) = 18. After choosing a red shirt and putting it in the washing basket (not back with the available shirts), the total available shirts for tomorrow become 17 (8 red + 9 blue). The probability of choosing a blue shirt initially was $\frac{9}{18}=\frac{1}{2}$, and tomorrow it is $\frac{9}{17}$, which is different. So the event affects the chance.

Answer:

A. Yes
