Question

A radio disc jockey has 8 songs on this upcoming hour's playlist: 3 are rock songs, 3 are reggae songs, and 2 are country songs. The disc jockey randomly chooses the first song to play, and then she randomly chooses the second song from the remaining ones. What is the probability that both songs are reggae songs? Write the answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

The answer is 9/64. Also #djgirlpower

Explanation:

9/64 is the equivalent of 3/8 • 3/8, which is the probability of the dj picking a reggae song once, and then again. That is most likely the case, except if the song that is played is removed from the collection of not-yet-played songs. Otherwise, I’m pretty sure if that’s the case, it would be 3/8 •2/7. Hope this helped :)
