Question

A car dealership has seven cars in the lot. Unfortunately, the keys to the cars have been mixed up. The manager randomly grabs a key and tries to start a car salesman also randomly picks a different key and tries to start another car. What is the probability that both cars start?

Answer 1

To determine The probability of both of these occurring, you would multiply the probability of each together. So, there is a 1/7 chance of the first salesman getting the right key, and 1/6 chance of the second salesman getting the right key. 1/7 x 1/6= 1/42 chance of both occurring.
