1. **State the problem:** We want to find the probability that Arjan chooses the same move in both games of rock-paper-scissors.
2. **Understand the probabilities:** The probability of choosing each move in Game 1 is:
- Rock: $\frac{7}{10}$
- Paper: $\frac{2}{10}$
- Scissors: $\frac{1}{10}$
For Game 2, the probabilities are the same regardless of the first move:
- Rock: $\frac{7}{10}$
- Paper: $\frac{2}{10}$
- Scissors: $\frac{1}{10}$
3. **Calculate the probability of choosing the same move in both games:**
We calculate the probability for each move being chosen twice and then sum these probabilities.
- Probability of Rock then Rock:
$$\frac{7}{10} \times \frac{7}{10} = \frac{49}{100}$$
- Probability of Paper then Paper:
$$\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{2}{10} = \frac{4}{100}$$
- Probability of Scissors then Scissors:
$$\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{100}$$
4. **Sum the probabilities:**
$$\frac{49}{100} + \frac{4}{100} + \frac{1}{100} = \frac{54}{100}$$
5. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{54}{100} = \frac{\cancel{54}^{27}}{\cancel{100}^{50}}$$
So the simplified probability is:
$$\frac{27}{50}$$
**Final answer:** The probability that Arjan chooses the same move in both games is $\frac{27}{50}$.
