Question

There are 4 red golf balls and 2 green golf balls in a bucket. You select a ball at random, keep it, and select again. Find the probability.

P(both red)

A. 1/3


B. 4/9


C. 2/3


D. 2/5

Answer 1

P(both red)=C

Explanation:

There are 6 golf balls in total and 4 golf balls is half of it. There is a 2/3 chance that you will get red balls. When you select again, the chances are the same so the probability can be simplified again back to 2/3.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

It should be 2/3 because there are 6 balls and two of them are green which gives the fraction 2/6 and can be reduced to 1/3
