Question

Fazio chooses a jersey at random and then replaces it. He then selects a second jersey at random. What is the probability that fazio selects a striped jersey both times. 2 are striped,5 are colored and 3 are white

Answer 1

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.
