AMC8 2015 · Q7. It mainly tests Basic counting (rules of product/sum), Probability (basic).
Each of two boxes contains three chips numbered 1, 2, 3. A chip is drawn randomly from each box and the numbers on the two chips are multiplied. What is the probability that their product is even?
有两个盒子,每个盒子里有编号为 1、2、3 的三个筹码。从每个盒子随机抽取一个筹码,将两个筹码上的数字相乘。它们的乘积为偶数的概率是多少?
(A)
$\frac{1}{9}$
$\frac{1}{9}$
(B)
$\frac{2}{9}$
$\frac{2}{9}$
(C)
$\frac{4}{9}$
$\frac{4}{9}$
(D)
$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1}{2}$
(E)
$\frac{5}{9}$
$\frac{5}{9}$
Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Answer (E): The nine possible equally likely outcomes are:
$(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)$
In five of the nine outcomes the product is even. Therefore the probability is $\frac{5}{9}$.
解答(A):共有九种等可能的结果:(1,4)、(2,4)、(3,4)、(1,5)、(2,5)、(3,5)、(1,6)、(2,6)、(3,6)。它们的和分别为 5、6、7、6、7、8、7、8、9。其中有 4 个是质数(一个 5 和三个 7),因此所求概率为 $\frac{4}{9}$。
