Your employer is offering free tickets for two baseball games. They play
54
54 home games and
5
5 of them are against the Snakes. The tickets are randomly given out. What is the probability that both are games are against the Snakes? Write your answer as a fraction. You do not need to simplify.
The probability of getting a ticket for a game against the Snakes is the number of games against the Snakes divided by the total number of home games:
5 / 54
Since the tickets are given out randomly for each game, the probability of getting a ticket for two games against the Snakes is the product of the probabilities:
(5/54) * (5/54)
Therefore, the probability that both games are against the Snakes is:
(5/54) * (5/54) = 25/2916
