The numbers 1 through 10 are put in one bag, and the numbers 5 through 14 are put in another bag. When you pick one number from each bag, what is the probability you get the same number? please answer as an unsimplified fraction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

36/100

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you find the overlapping ranges of each bag which is 5 - 10 on the first bag and 5 - 10 on the second bag. both bags have 10 total numbers, so 6/10 * 6/10 because there are six numbers on each bag and 10 overall choices, so we multiply these two because its an and statement which gives us 36/100.

The probability that we get the same number is 9/25.

What is probability?

It is simply likeliness of happening an event. The probability of an event lies between 0 to 1.

How to find the probability?

Numbers in first bag=10

Numbers in second bag=10

Common numbers=5,6,7,8,9,10

Total common numbers=6

So the probability that we get the same numbers will be

= 6/10* 6/10

=36/100

=18/50

=9/25

Hence the probability that we will get the same numbers is 9/25.
