Explain it clearly.

1. In the figure, a grid consists of 25 identical squares in which two are shaded. If one of the white squares is chosen random and shaded, find the probability that the grid has only one axis of symmetry.

I cannot pose the figure. Sorry@

更新2:

I try to draw the diagram S: means shaded square W: means white square W W W W S W W W W W W W S W W W W W W W W W W W W

✔ 最佳答案
in your figure, if only one axis of symmetry,
it should be look like the following-:

W W W W S
W W W W W
W W S W W
W W W W W
W W W W S
or
S W W W S
W W W W W
W W S W W
W W W W W
W W W W W

that means , the probability is 2/23

qa245we的第3個錯左, 因為有多過一個對稱軸, 以上的第4個組合方法才對, 本來個figure係25格, 扣除已經shade左的2格以外剩下的23格去再shade多一格, 所以答案係4/23, sorry for the previous mistake

I know how the 23 is come from.
There are 2 shaded squares,
so Total square - Shaded squares = unshaded squares

25-2=23
The shaded square may be in

1. S W W W S
W W W W W
W W S W W
W W W W W
W W W W W

2. W W W W S
W W W W W
W W S W W
W W W W W
W W W W S

3. W W W W S
W W W W W
W W S W W
W W W W W
S W W W W

4. W W W W S
W W W S W
W W S W W
W W W W W
W W W W W

Therefore, the probability =4/23
