Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=\frac{1}{80}[\tex]Step-by-step explanation:Given : The probability that James will win two races in the next two days is 1/8 for tomorrow and 1/10 for the day after tomorrow.To find : What is P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)?Solution :Probability of winning two races in the next two days isFor tomorrow - [tex]\frac{1}{8}$

For day after tomorrow - $\frac{1}{10}$

According to question :

Probability of win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow is given by multiple of probability of tomorrow and day after tomorrow.

i.e,

$\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=\text{P(tomorrow)}\times \text{P(day after tomorrow)}$

$\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=\frac{1}{8}\times \frac{1}{10}$

$\text{P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)}=\frac{1}{80}$

Answer 2

1/80 because 1/8 times 1/10 equals 1/89
