Drawing a counter from 2 bags 2020-05-21
From Sephy:
Question 4: Two bags, 1 and 2, each contain equal size counters.
Bag 1 contains a pink counter, yellow counter and white counter. Bag 2 contains counters labelled 1, 4, 5 and 7.
A counter is drawn at random from bag 1 and a counter is drawn at random from bag 2.
If the counter from bag 1 is pink, the number on the counter from bag 2 is increased by 1
If the counter from bag 1 is yellow, the number on the counter from bag 2 is decreased by 5
If the counter from bag 1 is white, the number is halved.
