If a political analyst randomly selects two aspects of the 2024 election to discuss, what's the probability they mention both Trump and the state of Minnesota?
The probability is 1/5 or 0.2 or 20%.
{"reasoning_type": "probabilistic"}
The 2024 election involves Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, Tim Walz (Governor of Minnesota) as her running mate, and Donald Trump as their opponent. Key aspects include: Harris, Walz, Minnesota, Trump, and the Democratic party. The probability of mentioning both Trump and Minnesota when randomly selecting two aspects is the same as selecting Trump first (1/5) and then Minnesota (1/4), plus selecting Minnesota first (1/5) and then Trump (1/4). This can be calculated as: (1/5 * 1/4) + (1/5 * 1/4) = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5.
