Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

each city has a probability of 1/9

one city 'or' another means to add their probabilities:  1/9 + 1/9 = 2/9

The probability of Cleveland or Dallas getting picked is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex].

What is probability?

'Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.'

According to the given problem,

Total number of city names = 9

Favorable events = 2 [ Cleveland, Dallas]

Probability = [tex]\frac{Favorable events}{Total number of events}[/tex]

Probability of Cleveland getting picked = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Probability of Dallas getting picked = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Probability of Cleveland OR Dallas getting picked = [tex]\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

                                                                                   = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude, probability of Cleveland or Dallas getting picked is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex].
