Answer 1

Details are missing;

A board of 15 balloons. 4 are purple, 3 red, 4 blue, 2 yellow and 2 green

Answer:

the probability that both the balloons you break are purple = 2/35

Explanation:

Since there are 15 balloons and 4 are purple. It means that probability of the first balloon being purple is;

4/15

Now, if the first balloon is purple, it means we have 3 purple left out of the remaining 14. Thus probability of the second being purple = 3/14

Thus;

the probability that both the balloons you break are purple = 4/15 × 3/14 = 2/35
