A bag contains 3 black balls and 5 white balls. Paul picks a ball at random from the and replaces it back in the bag. He mixes the balls in the bag and then picks another
ball at random from the bag.
a) Construct a probability tree of the problem.
b) Calculate the probability that Paul picks:
i) two black balls
ii) a black ball in his second draw

(a) Tree (see diagram)

(b)   (i) 9/64   (ii) 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3 black, 5 white, picks two at random with replacement.

SEE DIAGRAM FOR EXPLANATIONS

(a) Tree (see diagram)

(b)

(i) 9/64

(ii) 3/8

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
