Question 601243
P(Both pick spiders) = P(Carla picks spider AND Hannah picks spider)



P(Both pick spiders) = P(Carla picks spider)*P(Hannah picks spider)



P(Both pick spiders) = (25/50)*(24/49)


Keep in mind that one person chooses a prize at a time. Once they've chosen a spider, this decreases the count of number of spiders. This is of course assuming that the prizes are NOT replaced.



P(Both pick spiders) = (1/2)*(24/49)



P(Both pick spiders) = 24/98



P(Both pick spiders) = 12/49
