Unfortunately, your answer is incorrect, but I totally understand your thinking. However, 1/4 is the probability for each individual that they'll be placed in a general civil case. Since there are two of them, and the question is asking the probability that only one will be in a general civil case, you have to approach the problem slightly differently.

There is a 1/16 chance that both will be put in the case (1/4 * 1/4), a 9/16 chance that neither will be put in the case (3/4 * 3/4), and therefore leaving a 6/16 chance that only one of them will be placed in the civil case. (1 - (1/16 + 9/16). This is equivalent to the decimal 0.375.

Draw out a chart of all the 16 possibilities, and circle the ones where the criteria meet. You'll find that there are 6 instances where one of them is put in a general civil case alone.

If its non of them tell me..valerie took a day-trip. she drove from her house for a while and took a coffee break. after her coffee break, she continued driving. after 2 hours of driving after her coffee break, her distance from her house was 210 miles. her average speed during the whole trip was 60 miles per hour. valerie created the equation y−210=60(x−2) to represent this situation, where xx represents the time in hours from her coffee break and yy represents the distance in miles from her house. which graph correctly represents valerie's distance from her house after her coffee break?
