selected either two blue tiles or two white tiles?


a. 23/26

b. 4/9

c. 7/72

d. 1/40

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Based on the number of square and round tiles, the probability of selecting two blue tiles and two white tiles is d. 1/40.

What is the probability of Jeremy's selection?

The probability of Jeremy's selection can be found as:

= (Probability of picking round white tile x Probability of picking square white tile) + (Probability of picking round blue tile x Probability of picking square blue tile)

Solving gives:

= (2 / 36 x 9 / 60) + (6 / 36 x 6 / 60)

= 0.025

= 1 / 40
