Suppose that 17 lightbulbs in a box of 100 lightbulbs are broken and

that 3 are selected at random without replacement. (a) Construct a


probability tree for this problem. (b) What is the probability that
there will be no broken lightbulbs in the sample? ) What is the
probability that there will be exactly 1 broken lightbulb in the sample ?
Question coffee
a.P(small cup) = .14 + .20 = .34
b. P(black) = .20 + .10 + .10 = .40
c.P(black | small) = P(small ∩ black)/P(small) =
0.2/0.34 = 0.588.
d.P(small| black = P(small ∩ black)/P(black)
= 0.2/0.4 = 0.5
