Probability Tree Questions - GREEN

The document provides two probability questions involving drawing items from bags or hats with or without replacement. For each question, it asks to draw a tree diagram showing the outcomes and probabilities, and then calculate specific probabilities. The first question involves drawing blocks from a bag containing red and blue blocks. The second question involves drawing discs from a hat containing purple and green discs.

Probability Tree Questions - GREEN

1. A bag contains 4 red and 3 blue blocks. Two blocks are randomly selected from the
bag.
(a) Draw a tree diagram that shows all the outcomes and their probabilities if
replacement occurs before the second selection. Then determine the probability of
getting one red and one blue in any order.

(b) Draw a tree diagram that shows all the outcomes and their probabilities if no
replacement occurs before the second selection. Then determine the probability of
getting one red and one blue in any order when there is no replacement.
2. A hat contains 8 purple and 2 green discs. Two discs are selected, without
replacement, from the hat.

(a) Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation.

(b) Determine the probability that

(i) they are both green

(ii) the first is purple and the second is green

(iii) they are identical in colour
