Answer: 0.054

Explanation:

Cathy is playing a game with a set of 24 cards equally divided into 4 colors. This means that each card has 24/4 = 6 colors.

The probability of selecting the first red card will be 6/24. The probability of selecting the second one will be 5/23 without replacement.

Therefore, probability of her randomly selecting a red card, not replacing it, and then selecting another red card will be:

= 6/24 × 5/23

= 30/552

= 0.054
