    1/36

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The probability for selecting a person in living in

    Gaston is P (G) = 4/9

    Pike is P (P) = 2/9

    Wells is P (W) = 3/9

    What is the probability that both winners live in Pike will be;

    First selection = 2/9

    Second selection = 1/8

    P₁*P₂ = 2/9*1/8 = 1/36
