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%
