Question

What is the probability of getting ALL 2 red balls in a bag containing 24 balls?

Answer 1

1 / 276

Explanation:

The total Number of balls in the bag = 24

Number of red balls = 2

Assume the number of picks required = 2 and selection is performed without replacement ;

The probability of :

Choosing a red on first pick = (number of red balls / total number of balls) = 2 / 24

After first pick, red balls left = 1 ; total number of balls = 23

Choosing a red on second pick = (number of red balls / total number of balls = 1 / 23

Hence,

(2/24) * (1/23) = 2 / 552 = 1/276
