Chapter 28 determining more complicated probabilities 9/11/18. 28. 3 probability of one event and another event: 2 events are disjoint or mutually exclusive when its impossible for them to happen simultaneously. P(6) = 1/6 x p(h)= = 1/12: container 1 = 5 red, 3 blue, 6 green. Container 2 = 2 red, 8 blue, 2 green. What is the probability of pulling a red ball out of a #1 and a green ball out of container. P(r) = 5/14 x p(g)=2/12 = 10/168 = 5/84 <= because they are independent: consider tossing a penny, nickel, and a dime. P(dime = h, penny = h, nickel = h) = 1/8 = x x .
