Electronic Dance = 3 students
Alternative Rock = 9 students
Pop = 8 students
Classical = 5 students
Country = 6 students
Total number of students surveyed is 31 students.
P(Electronic Dance and Country) = (3/31)*(6/31) = 0.019 or 1.9%
The probability that the first student likes Electronic Dance and the second student likes Country is 0.019.
P(Both like Electronic Dance) = (3/31)*(2/30) = 6/930 = 0.0065 or 0.65%
P(Both like Alternative Rock) = (9/31)*(8/30) = 72/930 = 0.077 or 7.7%
P(Both like Pop) = (8/31)*(7/30) = 56/930 = 0.060 = 6.0%
P(Both like Classical) = (5/31)*(4/30) = 20/930 = 0.022 = 2.2%
P(Both like Country) = (6/31)*(5/30) = 30/930 = 0.032 = 3.2%
P(Both like the Same Music) = 0.0065 + 0.077 + 0.060 + 0.022 + 0.032 = 0.1975 ≈ 0.20 or 20%
The probability that both students selected like the same music genre is about 0.20.
