Answer:
(9)/(64)

Explanation:

n(gold colored coins) = 10

n(silver colored coins) = 6

Total number of coins = 16

since there is replacement , the probability she selects 2 silver colored coins will be :


(6)/(16) x
(6)/(16)

=
(3)/(8) x
(3)/(8)

=
(9)/(64)

Therefore : the probability she selects 2 silver colored coins is
(9)/(64)
