Answer:

99% sure it's B !!!

Step-by-step explanation:

the likelyhood of getting a blue pen is microscopic, not even a 1% chance and the likelihood of getting a blue tote bag is also pretty small

It is very unlikely that a customer gets a blue tote bag, and it is very unlikely that a customer gets a blue pen (Option B)

How can we interpret probability?

Probability of an event is a measurement of how likely an event can occur as an outcome of a random experiment.

Probability ranges from 0 to 1, both inclusive. Events whose probability is closer to 0 are rarer to occur than those whose probabilities are closer to 1 (relatively).

Since it is given that:

  • The chance of a customer receiving a blue pen = 0.008
  • The chance of a customer receiving a blue tote bag = 0.04

Both probabilities are too close to 0, than 1. So they both are very unlikely to occur.

Thus, it is very unlikely that a customer gets a blue tote bag, and it is very unlikely that a customer gets a blue pen (Option B).
