      Question

      In a purple box there are 2 white, 8 black, and 5 yellow

      markers while in an orange box there are 4 white, 6 black, and 7 yellow markers. One marker is drawn at random from the combined markers of both boxes. Find the probability that it is a white marker from the orange box.
      A 1/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1/6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 3/32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total markers in purple box = 2 + 8 + 5 = 15
      Total markers in orange box = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17
      Total markers combined = 15 + 17 = 32
      Probability marker is from orange box = 17/32
      Probability marker is white given orange box = 4/17
      Required probability = (17/32) Γ— (4/17) = 4/32 = 1/8
