Question

Two customers Priya and Amuthan are visiting a particular shop in the same week (Monday to Saturday). Each is equally likely to visit the shop on any one day as on another day. What is the probability that both will visit the shop on consecutive days?

Answer 1

n(S) = 36

Let C be the event of both will visit the shop on consecutive days

n(C) = 10

P(C) = `("n"("C"))/("n"("S"))`

= `10/36`

= `5/18`
