Question

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Using probability concepts, it is found that there is a $\frac{1}{9}$ 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:

$p = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}$

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