A box contains 4 black pens and 2 red pens. One pen is chosen at random, and then another pen is chosen at random without replacement. What is the probability a black pen was chosen, and then another black pen? *

Probability is 2/5 or 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/(4+2) = 4/6 = 2/3 first black pen is chosen.

3/5 - second pen is chosen without replacement.

2/3 *3/5= 2/5 - the probability a black pen was chosen, and then another black pen without replacement.

2/5*100 % = 40 %
