There are 14 boys and 6 girls in Emily’s class. One student in Emily’s class is chosen each day to hand out calculators to all the students. Also, one student in Emily’s class is chosen each day to collect calculators at the end of class. The same student can be chosen for each job. Each student is equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability a girl is selected to do both jobs on Monday?
A. 9/100
b. 107/190
C. 3/5
d. 3/38

Answer 1

Same girl can be chosen for both jobs, is the probability with replacement. Multiply the individual probabilities.

(6/20) * (6/20) = 9/100
