Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

                           D)  0.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the baseball team goes for city playoffs.

B denote the event that the baseball team goes for state playoffs.

A∩B denote the event that the team goes for city and state playoffs.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are given P(A)=0.20

P(B|A)=0.50

We know that:

[tex]P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(A)}\\\\\\P(A\bigcap B)=P(B|A)\times P(A)\\\\\\P(A\bigcap B)=0.20\times 0.50\\\\\\P(A\bigcap B)=0.10[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected team from Little town goes to the city and state playoffs is:

                                          D) 0.10

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the base ball team goes to the city playoffs P(C) = 0.20

Probability that the team goes to the state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs P(S|C) = 0.50

We need to find the probability that the baseball team goes to both state and city i.e. P(C∩S)

Since we have given the conditional probability.

So, we will apply the formula of it.

[tex]P(S\mid C)=\dfrac{P(S\cap C)}{P(C)}\\\\0.50=\dfrac{P(C\cap S)}{0.20}\\\\0.50\times 0.20=P(C\cap S)\\\\0.10=P(C\cap S)[/tex]

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
