Respuesta :

The probability that the items drawn are two pencils and one highlighter is 0.25

How to draw the tree diagram

To do this, we make use of the following representations:

  • P represents Pencils
  • T represents Highlighters

Since there are three boxes, the number of possible outcomes is:

Outcomes = 2³

Outcomes = 8

See attachment for the tree diagram.

How to determine the probability?

From the tree diagram, we have:

  • Outcomes = 8
  • Two pencils and one highlighter (PPT) = 2

So, the probability is:

P = 2/8

Evaluate

P = 0.25

Hence, the probability that the items drawn are two pencils and one highlighter is 0.25
