Question

Each month, a retail store awards a blue ribbon to its employee of the month. The probability that Chloe is the employee of the month is 29% in January and 49% in February. What is the probability that she is awarded a blue ribbon in both January and February?
14.21%

19.51%

10.00%

21.81%

Answer 1

P(E)= 29/100 * 49/100 = 0.1421= 14.21%

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A. 14.21%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that Chloe is awarded the employee of the month in January  

= 29%  P (J) = 0.29

The probability that Chloe is awarded the employee of the month in February = 49% P (F) = 0.49

As we know that both events are independent so

P ( J & F ) = P (J) × P (F)

P = 0.29 × 0.49 = 0.1421 or 14.21%

Therefore the probability that she is awarded a blue ribbon in both January and February 14.21%
