Answer:

1/21

Explanation:

there are 7 songs total

3 rock sounds, 2 reggae songs and 2 country songs

probability of choosing both country songs without returning the first song = probability of choosing country song first time × probability of choosing country song second time

probability of choosing a country song first time = # of country songs / # of total songs

# of country songs = 2

total # of songs= 7

so probability of picking a country song = 2/7

if she doesn't return the disc there are 7 - 1 = 6 more songs left and 2 - 1 = 1 is country

probability of choosing country song second time

again probability = # of country songs / total # of songs

here there are only 6 songs total and 1 of them are country

so probability = 1/6

we have probability of choosing both country songs without returning the first song = probability of choosing country song first time × probability of choosing country song second time

first probability = 2/7

second probability = 1/6

total probability = 2/7 × 1/6 = 1/21
