Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 1/9
Explanation:
There are three colours, so the probability a single person chooses orange is 1/3.
The two choices are independent, so to find the probability that both choose orange multiply the individual probabilities.
Calculation: (1/3) × (1/3) = 1/9.
