Answer:

1/380

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of Bob's name drawn first is:

  • 1/20                            as there are 20 people with equal chance

And probability of Laquisha's name drawn second is:

  • 1/19                            as there are 19 people left with equal chance

Probability of the two events happening is:

  • 1/20*1/19 = 1/380       product of individual probabilities

Answer:

Hey there!

1/19 (1/20)=1/380, so the probability is 1/380

Let me know if this helps :)
