Question

Mrs. Abner randomly chooses one boy and one girl to participate in a spelling bee. The probability that Alex is chosen from the boys is 0.08.
The probability that Jane is chosen from the girls is 0.14.
Which is closest to the probability that Alex and Jane are chosen for the spelling bee?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of Alex and Jane getting picked is 0.0112 or 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the probability that Alex is picked is 0.08, then in order for jane to be picked it is another 0.14.

That means that we must figure out what 14% of 0.08 is 0.0112

0.0112 = 1.12%

good luck mate!
