Answer:

\displaystyle  \frac{1}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given 8 songs

2 are <em>rock.</em><em> </em>4 are <em>reggae</em>, 2 are <em>country</em>

we want to figure out the probability of getting both reggae songs

notice that, they aren't replacing thus it's an independent probability

recall that,

\displaystyle \rm P(A  \:  \text{and} \: B) = P(A) \times P(B \mid A)

P(A) represents the chance of getting our subject first time and P(B|A) represents the chance of getting the same subject second time

let's figure out P(A)

we have 2 reggae songs

and total 8 songs

therefore

\displaystyle\rm P(A) =  \frac{2}{8}  =  \frac{1}{4}

let's figure out P(B|A)

since we took a reggae song before now we have only a reggae song

and total 8-1=7

therefore

\displaystyle  \rm P(B\mid A) =  \frac{1}{7}

Altogether

\displaystyle \rm P(A  \:  \text{and} \: B) = \frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{1}{7}

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle \rm P(A  \:  \text{and} \: B) = \frac{1}{28}

And we are done!
