Question

Can u help me with this question

Answer 1

Let:

A = Probability of choose a can of tomato soup

B = Probability of choose a can of cheese soup

P(A) = (Number of cans of tomato soup)/(Total of cans of soup) = 2/10 = 1/5

P(B) = (Number of cans of cheese soup)/(Total of cans of soup) = 2/10 = 1/5

Since A and B are mutually exclusive

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(B) = (1/5)*(1/5) = 1/25
