Activity 2 of 2
Part B: Suppose Steven combined the table-tennis balls into one large bag instead of two individual bags. Would the probability change from Part A if Steven wanted to draw a “1” and a “B” without replacement?

A.
No, the probability would not change because there is still one table-tennis ball marked with a “1” and one table-tennis ball marked with a “B”.

B.
Yes, the probability would change because you are drawing two table-tennis balls.

C.
Yes, the probability would change because you are drawing from one bag and this changes the number of possible outcomes.

D.
No, the probability would not change because the outcome is the same.
