The law of independent assortment applies not only to genetics but also to games of pure chance. suppose that you have 10 ping-pong balls in a jar, each marked with a number 1 to 10. if you mix them thoroughly and take out one, the chances are 1 in 10 that you will get a particular number, for example 5. if you have two such jars, the chances of drawing a 5 from each jar is 1 in 100 (1 in 10 for each jar or a total of 1 in 100 for drawing 5, 5). suppose that you have 5 such jars. what is the chance of drawing the number 31456?
