Answer:

4% probability that fazio selects a striped jersey both times.

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

For each jersey, there are 2+5+3 = 10 possible options, two of which are striped.

So twice 2/10


p = ((2)/(10))^(2) = (4)/(100)

4% probability that fazio selects a striped jersey both times.
