1. Problem 19: Probability of a purple marble or a blue marble
(a) Formula: $p(p) + p(b)$
(b) Substitute values: $\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{5}$
(c) Find common denominator and add:
$$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{60} + \frac{12}{60} = \frac{17}{60}$$
2. Problem 18: Probability of a yellow marble and then a blue marble if the yellow marble is replaced
(a) Formula: $p(y) \times p(b)$
(b) Substitute values: $1 \times \frac{1}{5}$
(c) Multiply:
$$1 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$$
3. Problem 20: Probability of a purple marble and then a blue marble if the purple marble is replaced
(a) Formula: $p(p) \times p(b)$
(b) Substitute values: $\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{4}{5}$
(c) Multiply:
$$\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{4}{60} = \frac{1}{15}$$
