Solution

Sure, let's solve these step by step.

First, let's determine the total number of candies in the jar:

  • Cherry: 7
  • Lemon: 3
  • Lime: 4
  • Orange: 6

Total candies = 7 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 20

  1. P(BOTH orange): Since the candies are drawn with replacement, the probability of drawing an orange candy each time remains the same.

P(orange on first draw) = Number of orange candies / Total number of candies = 6/20 = 3/10

Since the draws are independent (with replacement), the probability of drawing an orange candy on both draws is: P(BOTH orange) = P(orange on first draw) * P(orange on second draw) = (3/10) * (3/10) = 9/100

  1. P(cherry AND lime): Again, since the candies are drawn with replacement, the probability of each draw remains the same.

P(cherry on first draw) = Number of cherry candies / Total number of candies = 7/20 P(lime on second draw) = Number of lime candies / Total number of candies = 4/20 = 1/5

Since the draws are independent: P(cherry AND lime) = P(cherry on first draw) * P(lime on second draw) = (7/20) * (1/5) = 7/100

  1. P(lemon on the 2nd draw GIVEN THAT the first draw was orange): Since the draws are with replacement, the probability of drawing a lemon on the second draw is not affected by the first draw.

P(lemon on second draw) = Number of lemon candies / Total number of candies = 3/20

Therefore, P(lemon on the 2nd draw GIVEN THAT the first draw was orange) = 3/20
