Practicing Success
A bag contains four tickets numbered 00,01,10,11. Four tickets are chosen at random with replacement, the probability that sum of the numbers on the tickets is 23 is: |
3/32 1/64 5/256 7/256 |
3/32 |
Sum of numbers = 23 → 3’s in ones place Possibilities 11 + 11 + 01 + 00 11 + 10 + 01 + 01 Total no. of ways to get two 11, one 01, one 00 → no. of arrangements = $\frac{4!}{2!}$ One 11, one 10, two 01 → $\frac{4!}{2!}$ Total no. of ways = 44 Probability = $\frac{\frac{4!}{2!}+\frac{4!}{2!}}{4^4}=\frac{3}{32}$ |
