Question

A cast member is selling balloons on Main Street. He has 8

princess balloons, 5 blue Mickey balloons, and 7 red Mickey
balloons. He sells one balloon, and then another (no replacing).
Find the probability of selling one blue balloon followed by
another blue balloon and show the equation used.

Answer 1

4/76 or simplified as 1/19

Explanation:

5/20 is for the probability of the first balloon

4/19 is for the probability of the second balloon

5/20 can be simplified to 1/4 so 1/4 x 4/19 = 4/76

4/76 can also be simplified to 1/19
