Question

The probability that james will win two races in the next two days is 1/8 for tomorrow and 1/10 for the day after tomorrow. What is P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorroww)?

Answer 1

1/80 because 1/8 times 1/10 equals 1/89

Answer 2

For day after tomorrow -
`(1)/(10)`

According to question :

Probability of win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow is given by multiple of probability of tomorrow and day after tomorrow.

i.e,

`\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=\text{P(tomorrow)}* \text{P(day after tomorrow)}`

`\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=(1)/(8)* (1)/(10)`

`\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=(1)/(80)`
