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!
