Question

Sue chooses a dress and necklace to wear when she performs at a violin recital. The probability that Sue selects a black dress is 40%. The probability Sue selects a gold necklace is 30%. What is the probability that Sue chooses a black dress and a gold necklace?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sue has a 12% chance of choosing a black dress and a gold necklace (as a fraction: 3/25, and as a decimal: 0.12).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of two separate events both occurring (in this case, selecting a black dress and a gold necklace), the probabilities are multiplied usually as fractions or decimals.

As fractions:

40% = 4/10

30% = 3/10

4/10 * 3/10 = 12/100 = 3/25, 0.12, or 12%

As decimals:

40% = 0.4

30% = 0.3

0.4 * 0.3 = 0.12 = 3/25, 0.12, or 12%
