Question

Stephanie is going to summer camp. There are three cabins to which she could be assigned: Pine Cabin, Maple Cabin, or Spruce Cabin. She can be assigned either a top bunk bed or bottom bunk bed.What is the probability she will assigned to Sprice Cabin and a top bunk bed. Show or explain how you determined your answer

Answer 1

To find the probability of two outputs happening at the same time, multply the probabilities of each output.

There are three options for a cabin and two options for the bed.

Then, the probability of Sprice Cabin being assigned is 1/3, while the probability of a top bunk bed being assigned is 1/2.

So, the probability of the Sprice Cabin and a top bunk bed being assigned, is:

`(1)/(2)*(1)/(3)=(1)/(6)`
