The probability of two independent events happening is the product of their individual probabilities. Therefore, the probability of James winning tomorrow and then winning the day after tomorrow is:
P(win tomorrow) × P(win the day after tomorrow) = (1/8) × (1/10) = 1/80
So, the answer is A. 1/80.
The probability that James will win two races in the next two days is one-eighth for tomorrow and one-tenth for the day after tomorrow. What is P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)?
A. start fraction 1 over 80 end fraction
B. start fraction 1 over 40 end fraction
C. Start Fraction 1 over 18 End Fraction
D. Start Fraction 2 over 9 End Fraction.
