Under the best conditions, a sprout has a 40% probability of blooming.
if two sprouts are selected at random, what is the probability that both will bloom, under the best conditions?
16 percent
24 percent
40 percent
80 percent

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14
