Tina puts the letters of the word RADAR on pieces of paper and puts the pieces in a bag. She

draws two letters without looking. The first piece of paper is not replaced before the second
piece is drawn. What is the probability that Tina draws an R twice?

Answer:

1/10

Explanation:

the probability of drawing r the first time is 2/5, if tina had gotten the r the first time, the probability of drawing r on the second time is 1/4, so the probability tina draws an r twice is 2/5 * 1/4, or 2/20, or 1/10
