1. Kurt, a painter, has 9 jars of paint:
4 are yellow
2 are red
rest are brown
Kurt will combine 3 jars of paint into a new container to make a new color, which he will name accordingly to the following conditions:
Brun Y if the paint contains 2 jars of brown paint and no yellow
Brun X if the paint contains 3 jars of brown paint
Jaune X if the paint contains at least 2 jars of yellow
Jaune Y if the paint contains exactly 1 jar of yellow
What is the probability that the new color will be Jaune
a) 5/42
b) 37/42
c) 1/21
d) 4/9
e) 5/9
I have a question about how to choose the colours after some answers. i would like to contrast this question with another one:
2. In how many ways can one choose 6 cards from a normal deck of cards so as to have all suits present?
a. (13^4) x 48 x 47
b. (13^4) x 27 x 47
c. 48C6
d. 13^4
e. (13^4) x 48C6
Again this involves how you choose the cards.
