For her softball uniform Meredith has a green, white, or striped jerseyShe also white, green, striped shortIf Meredith jersey and shorts randomly, what is the probability that she will go to softball practice in a striped jersey and green shorts

Respuesta :

Answer:

probability that she'll go with a striped jersey and green shorts  = ¹/₉

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = desired outcome ÷ total outcome

probability that she'll go with a striped jersey and green shorts = ¹/₃ x ¹/₃ = ¹/₉

Using probability concepts, it is found that there is a [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] probability that she will go to softball practice in a striped jersey and green shorts.

  • A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
  • If two events are independent, the probability of both happening is the multiplication of the probability of each happening.

In this problem:

  • Jersey and short are independent.
  • 1 of the 3 jerseys are stripped.
  • 1 of the 3 shorts are green.

Hence:

[tex]p = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] probability that she will go to softball practice in a striped jersey and green shorts.
