Question

There are 13 buttons in a bag 9 buttons are white. 4 buttons are black Carol takes a button at random from the bag, and keeps it She now takes another button from the bag. Work out the probability that Carol takes a button of each colour.​

Answer 1

Answer is Case 1st
P(of white button) = 9/13
P(of black button) = 4/12
Case 2nd
P(of black button) = 4/13
P(of white button) = 9/12

Explanation: Given : A Question
To find : Probability
Solution : Case 1st
If carol takes the first button is white
P(of picking a white button) = 9/13
And
P(of picking a black button) = 4/12
Case 2nd
If carol takes the first button is black
So, P(of picking a black button) = 4/13
And P(of picking a white button) = 9/12

I hope this helps.
