Given that a box of jerseys for a pick-up game of basketball contains 8 extra-large jerseys, 6 large jerseys, and 4 medium jerseys.

The number of jerseys in the box is 8+6+4=18

To find the probability of picking 2-extra large jerseys by finding the probability of 1 extra large and probability of 2 extra large.

The probability of picking 1 extra large jersey is

P₁=8/18

P₁=4/9

The probability of picking 2 extra large jerseys is remaining jerseys

P₂=7/17

The total probability of getting 2 extra large jerseys is

P=P₁×P₂

P=(4/9)×(7/17)

P=28/153

P=0.183

P=18.3%
