Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected token is red and green is 27/200 in fraction form and 0.135 in decimal form.
Explanation:
What is probability?
Probability is defined as the possibility of an event being equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.
Given that a bag of tokens contains 9 red, 6 green, and 5 blue tokens.
Total = 9 red + 6 green + 5 blue = 9 + 6 + 5 = 20
Total token = 20
P(E₁) is 9 out of 20 are red.
P(E₂) is 6 out of 20 are green.
⇒ P(E₁) = 9/20
⇒ P(E₂) = 6/20
Required probability P(E) = P(E₁)×P(E₂)
Required probability P(E) = 9/20 × 6/20
Required probability P(E) = 54/400
Required probability P(E) = 27/200 = 0.135
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected token is red and green is 27/200.
