Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

P(get an order) = 1/4

thus

P(getting both orders) = 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16

The probability that she will get orders from both visits tomorrow = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

What is probability?

"Probability is a branch of mathematics which deals with finding out the likelihood of the occurrence of an event."

Formula of the probability of an event A is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes, n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

For given question,

We need to find the probability that a salesperson will get orders from both visits tomorrow.

The probability of that a salesperson Will get an order from a visit to a customer is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] .

She has 2 visits tomorrow.

So, the required probability would be,

[tex]P=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \\\\ P=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that she will get orders from both visits tomorrow = [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex]
