Step-by-step explanation

The probability of getting an odd number is given by the quotient between the # of odd numbers and the total # of numbers:


P(odd)=(n(odd))/(n(total))=(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)=0.5.

To find the probability of getting two odd numbers in a row, we can multiply the probabilities of getting an odd number:


P(odd,odd)=P(odd)* P(odd)=0.5*0.5=0.25=0.25*100\%=25\%.

NOTE: We can do this because the events are independent.
