Question

Each month, a retail store awards a blue ribbon to its employee of the month. The probability that Chloe is the employee of the month is 29% in January and 49% in February. What is the probability that she is awarded a blue ribbon in both January and February?

A.
14.21%

B.
19.51%

C.
10.00%

D.
21.81%

Answer 1

To find the probability that two independent events (like the one in the question) happen together, you can multiply both individual probabilities
In this case, you can multiply 29% and 49% or [(0.29 * 0.49) * 100] to get your answer

(Realistically, these two events would not actually be independent. If Chloe is a good worker, then the probability of her getting the award would be increased, so the probabilities would affect each other. For this simple question, we can ignore this)

Answer 2

okay
