mathmate · Answer

What is the probability of picking a green candy at the first draw?

anonymous · Answer

is it 1 out of 5? or 1 out of 10?

anonymous · Answer

ok 2/5 is the probability again

anonymous · Answer

5 colors 2 possible outcomes of green

anonymous · Answer

Think of this a sequence of events... first you choose a green candy and then you choose a green candy again.  Since there are a large number of candies in the bag, we'll assume that the probabilities don't change.  So we're assuming independence.

thus, P(G, G) = P(G)*P(G) = 1/5*1/5 = 1/25 = .04
