Question

Kyle has three short straws, four medium straws, and six long straws. If he randomly draws two straws, one at a time without replacement, what is the probability that both are short straws?

Answer 1

Total number of straws is 13.

P(both are short) = (3/13(2/12)

P(both are short) = 6/156

P(both are short) = 1/26
