Suppose there is a box of christmas bulbs. The bulbs are coloured either red or green, and among the coloured bulbs, some are functioning and the rest are not. Suppose 100 bulbs are randomly drawn with replacement, i.e., a bulb is randomly drawn, colour  and functioning status observed, and then put back in before the next draw. Suppose, amongst these draws, the following is observed: 41 are red 59 are green 21 are red and functioning 32 are green and functioning Associated with the chance experiment, define the event A={a red bulb is observed} and B={a functioning bulb is observed}. If using relative frequency as an estimate for the probability of an event, the probability of A′B′ is:

Suppose there is a box of christmas bulbs. The bulbs are coloured either red or green, and among the coloured bulbs, some are functioning and the rest are not. Suppose 100 bulbs are randomly drawn with replacement, i.e., a bulb is randomly drawn, colour  and functioning status observed, and then put back in before the next draw. Suppose, amongst these draws, the following is observed:

  • 41 are red
  • 59 are green
  • 21 are red and functioning
  • 32 are green and functioning

Associated with the chance experiment, define the event A={a red bulb is observed} and B={a functioning bulb is observed}. If using relative frequency as an estimate for the probability of an event, the probability of A′B′ is:
