Work Shown for problem 1

P(pink, then violet) = P(pink)*P(violet given 1st was pink)

= (4/14)*(2/13)

= 8/182

= 4/91

P(gray, then gray)

= P(gray)*P(gray given 1st was gray)

= (3/14)*(2/13)

= 6/182

= 3/91

P(not yellow, not yellow)

= P(not yellow)*P(not yellow given 1st was not yellow)

= (9/14)*(8/13)

= 72/182

= 36/91

Work Shown for problem 4

P(yellow, not yellow)

= P(yellow)*P(not yellow given 1st was yellow)

= (5/14)*(9/13)

= 45/182
