0.3852
0.1938
0.2870
0.0833

Answer 1

\[\frac{3}{9}\times \frac{2}{8}\]

Answer 2

Take the ratio of the number of different ways you can pick 2 candy canes from the set of 3 uncracked ones, and the total number of ways you can pick 2 candy canes from a set of 9.

Answer 3

means "didn't get one on the first selection AND didn't get one on the second"
