  • A \(\frac{9}{25}\)
  • B \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  • C \(\frac{6}{25}\)
  • D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Prob. (team scored 4 goals) = Prob. (team scored 7 goals) = \(\frac{3}{25}\)
Hence, probability that a team selected at random scored either 4 or 7 goals;
= \(\frac{6}{25} + \frac{3}{25}\)
= \(\frac{9}{25}\)
