Market research shows that 30% of consumers are likely to purchase an electronic tablet for younger children under age 10. However, only 2% of consumers are likely to buy a laptop for children under age 10.

On the other hand, for children ages 10 – 17, 50% of consumers are likely to buy a tablet and 40% are likely to buy a laptop. If a family has a five-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter, what is the probability of both children receiving a tablet?​

Respuesta :

The probability of both children receiving a tablet is 15%.

We have given that

Age of Children P(Tablet) P(Laptop)

Less than 10    0.3   0.02

10-17     0.5    0.4

What is the probability?

Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.

Probability of both children receiving a tablet is

0.3*0.5 = 0.15 = 15%

Therefore, the probability of both children receiving a tablet is 15%

Therefore option b is correct.
