a bag contains a mixture of almonds walnuts and cashews there's an equal quantity of each nut. If a nut is chosen randomly out of the bag what is the probability that an almond will be selected or that a cashew will be selected

P(either almond or cashew) = ⅔

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the bag contains a mixture of almonds walnuts and cashews of equal number.

Since the 3 nuts are equal in number, they will have a ratio of 1:1:1.

So, when a nut is chosen randomly,

Probability of choosing almond = 1/3

Probability of choosing cashew = 1/3

Thus,

Probability of choosing either almond or cashew in a random selection will be the sum of their individual probability.

So,

P(either almond or cashew) = ⅓ + ⅓ = ⅔

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
