2/11 Lesson 5.2.6 Compound Events

1.  Team Warm-up:  A bag contains 3 green blocks, 2 blue blocks, and 1 red block.  To play the game, randomly select one block from the bag, look at its color and then place it back in the bag.  Repeat a second time.  

If you select 2 green blocks you win the game.

What is the probability you will win this game?

(see side whiteboard for the solution to a similar problem)

Bonus question:  The rules have changed.  Now you win if you select 2 blocks that are differently colored.  What is your probability of winning this game?
