Question

A game has a deck of cards with 10 red cards, 4 blue cards, and 2 yellow cards. You randomly choose two cards. Find the probability of choosing the given cards.

two red cards​

Answer 1

The probability of choosing two red cards would be 3/8

The probability of choosing 1 red card is 10/16; the probability of choosing a second red card would then be 9/15.

P(2 red) = 10/16(9/15) = 90/240 = 3/8.
