Answer:

\frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.

Explanation:

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden.

Number of red (R) bulbs = 5

Number of white (W) bulbs = 5

Total number of ways to plant 10 bulbs in one row is

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10!}{5!5!}

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 5!}

Cancel out common factors.

\text{Total ways}=252

It is given that she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other.

Required outcomes are

RRRRRWWWWW and WWWWWRRRRR

\text{Required outcomes}=2

Formula for probability:

Probability=\frac{\text{Required outcomes}}{\text{Total ways}}

Probability=\frac{2}{252}

Probability=\frac{1}{126}

Probability\approx 0.0079

Therefore the required probability is \frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.

Answer:

Personally, I believe the information helps.

Explanation:

Without this information the virus would not be contained, we would not have done research, taken samples, tested out the virus, or even attempted to contain it. With this information we can attempt to prevent a break out of the disease again. This is my personal opinion though.
