- (For 10 points!) Alfred draws candles randomly from a pack containing 4 colored candles of the same shape and size. There are 2 red candles, 1 green candle, and 1 blue candle. He draws 1 candle and then draws another candle without replacing the first one. Find the probability of picking 1 red candle followed by another red candle, and show the equation used.

(don't joke around please?? /gen)

The probability of picking 1 red candle followed by another red candle is 16.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alfred draws candles randomly from a pack containing 4 colored candles of the same shape and size, and there are 2 red candles, 1 green candle, and 1 blue candle, and he draws 1 candle and then draws another candle without replacing the first one, to find the probability of picking 1 red candle followed by another red candle, the following calculation must be performed:

2/4 x 1/3 = X

0.5 x 0.333 = X

0.16666 = X

Therefore, the probability of picking 1 red candle followed by another red candle is 16.66%.

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/4 x 1/3 = 1/6
