You won two free picks at the video arcade. You pick on ticket from a container that consists of 6 free-game tickets and 4 free-prize tickets. You pick another ticket from a container that consists of three 10 free-tokens tickets and five 20-free-tokens tickets. What is the probability that you picked a free-game ticket and a 20-free-tokens ticket?

The probability of picking a free-game ticket from the first container is 6/10, or 0.6. The probability of picking a 20-free-tokens ticket from the second container is 5/8, or 0.625.

To find the probability of both events occurring, you multiply the probabilities together:

0.6 x 0.625 = 0.375

So the probability of picking a free-game ticket and a 20-free-tokens ticket is 0.375, or 37.5%.
