TopicTree Diagrams

  1. Two bags, \(\boldsymbol { X }\) and \(\boldsymbol { Y }\), each contain green marbles (G) and blue marbles (B) only.
  • Bag \(\boldsymbol { X }\) contains 5 green marbles and 4 blue marbles
  • Bag \(\boldsymbol { Y }\) contains 6 green marbles and 5 blue marbles
A marble is selected at random from bag \(\boldsymbol { X }\) and placed in bag \(\boldsymbol { Y }\)
A second marble is selected at random from bag \(\boldsymbol { X }\) and placed in bag \(\boldsymbol { Y }\)
A third marble is then selected, this time from bag \(\boldsymbol { Y }\)
  1. Use this information to complete the tree diagram shown on page 7
  2. Find the probability that the 2 marbles selected from bag \(\boldsymbol { X }\) are of different colours.
  3. Find the probability that all 3 marbles selected are the same colour. Given that all three marbles selected are the same colour,
  4. find the probability that they are all green. 2nd Marble (from bag \(\boldsymbol { X }\) ) \section*{3rd Marble (from bag Y)} \begin{figure}[h]
