a computer program randomly selects a number between 1 and 5. at the same time, jasmine has a bag of five tiles that are numbered 1 and 5 . what is the probability that the computer program and jasmine pick the same number
---------
# of outcome pairs possible: 5*5 = 25
-------
# of duplicate pairs: 5
------
P(same number picked) = 5/25
