A bag contains 4 yellow balls, 5 red balls, and 6 blue balls. Part A: What is the probability of picking a yellow ball from the bag?
Part B: what is the probability of picking a blue ball from the bag?
Part C What is the probability of picking a yellow ball and then a blue ball after
replacement? Determine if the two events are independent events.

A) The probability of picking a yellow ball from the bag is 26.66%.  

B) The probability of picking a blue ball from the bag is 40%.  

C) The probability of picking a yellow ball and then a blue ball is 11.42%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a bag contains 4 yellow balls, 5 red balls, and 6 blue balls, to determine what is the probability of picking a yellow ball from the bag, what is the probability of picking a blue ball from the bag and what is the probability of picking a yellow ball and then a blue ball after replacement, the following calculations must be performed:

A)

4 + 5 + 6 = 100

4 = X

15 = 100

4 = X

4 x 100/15 = X

400/15 = X

26.66 = X

Therefore, the probability of picking a yellow ball from the bag is 26.66%.

B)

15 = 100

6 = X

6 x 100/15 = X

600/15 = X

40 = X

Therefore, the probability of picking a blue ball from the bag is 40%.

C)

14 = 100

6 = X

6 x 100/14 = X

600/14 = X

42.85 = X

0.2666 x 0.4285 = X

0.1142 = X

Therefore, the probability of picking a yellow ball and then a blue ball is 11.42%.
