Sue wants to buy a couch. She can get:
1. a regular couch or love seat
2. a green or blue cover
3. a washable cover or an unwashable cover
4. a pullout bed or no pullout bed
What is the probability that she will buy a blue loveseat with a washable cover and pullout bed?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that she will buy a loveseat is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

The probability that she will buy a blue cover is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

The probability that she will buy a washable cover is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

The probability that she will buy a pullout bed is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

So,by multiplication principle , the probability that she will buy a blue loveseat with a washable cover and pullout bed is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
