Answer 5

here the probability to draw a red candle as the first candle is:
2/4 = 1/2

Answer 6

ya i got tht part but the equation part i dont get ^.^

Answer 7

now I have to evaluate the probability to draw a red candle as second candle without replacing the first one

Answer 8

that probability is 1/3, since after I removed the first red candle there is only one red candle in our pack, and in total there are three candles in our pack

Answer 9

so what wuld b the equation :s

Answer 10

please wait a moment

Answer 11

okay thx ^.^

Answer 12

I think that the requested probability is given by the multiplication of those probability, namely
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
