Question

A bag contains 8 red crayons, 14 purple crayons, 6 yellow crayons, and 4 Green crayons. A crayon is selected, NOT replaced, then another is selected. Find the probability of two greens.

P(two greens)

Answer 1

3 / 248

Explanation:

Draw 1:

Favourable Outcome / Total number of possible outcomes

=> 4/32

=> 1/8 chance for first draw

Draw 2:

Favourable Outcome / Total number of possible outcomes

=> 3/31 Chance of green for second draw

To find the chance of getting 2 greens at consecutive draws = 1/8 x 3/31

= 3/248
