Question: We have a random number generator that can generate 1 or 2 at random. We also have a bag that contains two cubes: One red

We have a random number generator that can generate 1 or 2 at random.

We also have a bag that contains two cubes: One red and one blue.

We begin by generating a random number and we record it.

If the number is 1, we draw a cube from the bag and record it. We keep this cube out of the bag. And then we draw the last cube out of the bag and record it.

If the number is 2, we draw a cube from the bag and record it. We put the cube back in the bag. And then we draw a cube from the bag again and record it.

What is the probability that we end up with (1, blue, red) or (2, blue, blue)?

A) Use a tree diagram or a table to determine the sample space for this experiment.

B)What is the event for this experiment?

C)Choose the relevant formula from the formula sheet and compute the probability that we will end up with (1, blue, red) or (2, blue, blue).
