Work Shown:
A = selects green pair of shorts
B = selects gray t-shirt
P(A) = probability of selecting green shorts
P(A) = (number of green shorts)/(number of shorts total)
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = probability of selecting gray t-shirt
P(B) = (number of gray t-shirts)/(number of t-shirts total)
P(B) = 1/4
P(A and B) = probability of selecting green shorts AND gray t-shirt
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... since A and B are independent events
P(A and B) = (1/6)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(6*4)
P(A and B) = 1/24
Note: The fraction 1/24 is approximately equal to 0.041667
The cheetah runs 2 meters/sec faster than the gazelle. Eventually the cheetah will overcome the gazelle. Since distance = rate times time, time = distance/rate.
Thus,
300 meters / (2 meters/sec) = 150 sec = 2 min 30 sec
