Answer:

The probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kelly Slater and Andy Irons are in a surf competition among 10 competitors, to determine, if all surfers are at an equal surfing level, then what is the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd, the following calculation must be performed:

1/10 x 1/9 = X

0.1 x 0.11 = X

0.01111 = X

1/90 = 0.011111 = X

Therefore, the probability that Kelly will place 1st and Andy will place 2nd is 1/90, or 1.11%.

Step-by-step explanation:
