Answer 1

1/25

Explanation:

4 as fraction 1/25 which is the probability

Answer 2

Question:

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

Answer:

`Probability = 0.04`

Explanation:

Given

`Striped = 2`

`Colored = 5`

`White = 3`

Required

Determine the probability that both selections are stripped

This is calculated as:

`Probability = P(Stripped) * P(Stripped)`

`Probability = (n(Stripped))/(Total) * (n(Stripped))/(Total)`

`Probability = (2)/(2 + 5 + 3)* (2)/(2 + 5 + 3)`

`Probability = (2)/(10)* (2)/(10)`

`Probability = (4)/(100)`

`Probability = 0.04`
