Sagot :

The probability that Harold selected a pink square tile, and either a red or a blue round tile is 1/9.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events. The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Considering the selections are independent, their combined probability is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.

 P(pink square) = (pink squares) / (squares) = 16/60 = 4/15

 P(red or blue round) = (red or blue rounds) / ( rounds) = 15/36

Then, the Total probability

 P(E) = (4/15)(15/36)

 P(E) = 4/36

 P(E) = 1/9

So, the probability that Harold selected a pink square tile, and either a red or a blue round tile is 1/9.
