The law of independent assortment applies not only to genetics but also to games of pure chance. Suppose that you have 10 Ping-Pong balls in a jar, each marked with a number 1 to 10. If you mix them thoroughly and take out one, the chances are 1 in 10 that you will get a particular number, for example 5. If you have two such jars, the chances of drawing a 5 from each jar is 1 in 100 (1 in 10 for each jar or a total of 1 in 100 for drawing 5, 5). Suppose that you have 5 such jars. What is the chance of drawing the number 31456?
Points to whomever answers correctly. I really need help on, any help is appriciated.
