the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a baseball team goes to city playoffs is 0.30.
P(baseball team goes to city playoffs)=0.30
The probability that the team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.
P(team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs)=0.20
From our knowledge of set, we know that
P(A | B)= P(A ∩ C)/P(C)
where A= city playoffs
B= state playoffs
P(State play off | city play off)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/P(city play off,)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/0.30 =0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)= 0.30 × 0.20
= 0.06
Hence,the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is 0.06
