Compound Event

There are four names that could be drawn from a wheel: Ella, Elaine, Kiesha and Kylie. The probability of drawing Kiesha's name is 1/4, as there are four total names and only one is Kiesha. The document then discusses compound probability and provides examples of compound events involving coin tosses, dice rolls, choosing plants and pots, family vacation plans, picking clothing and colors, and choosing transportation.

you wait. You get to pick from 444 pieces of clothing
(shirt, pants, socks, or hat) and 333 colors (purple, blue,
or orange)

i. If you randomly pick the piece of clothing and the color,


what is the probability that you'll end up with an
orange hat?

2. Justin lives in Saint Paul and goes to school in
Minneapolis. In the morning, he has 333 transportation
options (bus, cab, or train) to school, and in the
evening, he has the same 333 choices for his trip home.

i. If Justin randomly chooses his ride in the morning


and in the evening, what is the probability that he'll
use both the bus and the train?
