Hansel makes the following statement:
"I have an 80% chance of being selected as the captain of the baseball team and a 10% chance of being elected student body president."
What is the probability that Hansel will be selected as the captain of the baseball team and will be elected student body president?
4%
8%
70%
90%
I think the answer is D
Plz help with this for real i need it
To find the probability that Hansel will be selected as the captain of the baseball team and will be elected student body president, you need to multiply the individual probabilities.
According to Hansel's statement, there is an 80% chance of being selected as the captain of the baseball team (or 0.80 probability) and a 10% chance of being elected student body president (or 0.10 probability).
To find the combined probability, you multiply these probabilities: 0.80 x 0.10 = 0.08 or 8%.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 8%.
They are statistically independent events
p(a and b) = p(a) * p(b)
.1 * .8 = ?
