Solution

The probability that a team from Littletown goes to both the city and state playoffs is found by multiplying the probability that the team goes to the city playoffs by the probability that the team goes to the state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs.

So, the calculation would be:

0.20 (probability of going to city playoffs) * 0.10 (probability of going to state playoffs given going to city playoffs) = 0.02

Therefore, the answer is C. 0.02.
