Hey thanks for helping lucaz

lucaz · Answer

1. you have a total of 10 pieces of candy, P(chocolate and strawberry) is:
P(c) * P(s) = (4/10) * (1/9) = 2/45

2.P(2 bass and bream)=
P(bass) * P(bass) * P(bream)=
(130/500) * (130/500) * (210/500)
since he decided to return the fish the total keeps the same.
