A music playlist has 6 pop songs and 4 jazz songs to choose from. Assuming the same song can be played twice in a row, the probability of hearing two consecutive pop songs is: A. 1 /5 B. 3/ 5 C. 1 /3 D. 6 /25 E. 9/ 25

Answer:

None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of hearing two consecutive pop songs, we can consider the total number of possible pairs of consecutive songs and then determine the number of pairs that consist of two pop songs.

Total possible pairs of consecutive songs = Total songs - 1

In this case, there are 10 songs total, so there are 10 - 1 = 9 possible pairs of consecutive songs.

Now, let's find the number of pairs that consist of two pop songs. Since there are 6 pop songs, the number of pairs of consecutive pop songs would be 6 * 6 = 36.

So, the probability of hearing two consecutive pop songs is:

Probability = (Number of pairs of consecutive pop songs) / (Total possible pairs of consecutive songs)

= 36 / 9

= 4 / 1

= 4

Therefore, the correct answer is not provided among the options.
