In Canada, 63 percent of households speak English as their primary language, and 23 percent speak French as their primary language. If two Canadian households are selected at random, what is the probability that the first household speaks French, but the second household speaks English?
Answer
A
0 point 2 3 plus 0 point 6 3 minus 0 point 2 3 times 0 point 6 3 is equal to 0 point 7 4 5 1
B
0 point 2 3 times 0 point 6 3 is equal to 0 point 1 4 4 9
C
0 point 2 3 plus 0 point 6 3 is equal to 0 point 8 6
D
0 point 2 3 over 0 point 6 3 is equal to 0 point 3 6 5 0
Explanation
The probability the first household speaks French is 0.23, and the probability the second speaks English is 0.63. For two randomly selected households, multiply these probabilities: 0.23 × 0.63 = 0.1449. Therefore, the correct choice is B, 0.1449.
