My Q:
1- In Q A, I thought of it:
- the even red balls could be ( 3,0,2,1). So, I thought of dealing with it like " or". So, we can add : .5+.33+.667- .5*.33*.667=1.387 ( approximately ) here above 1 there is something wrong.
The answer and Justification from MGRE that the answer is D : that we don't have exact and detailed information.
Moreover, if the question wants need " or " or " and " will it mentioned clearly or not necessary ?
