Any answer choices?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
nope
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
P(red and yellow) ≈ (blank space) %
OpenStudy (zarkon):
\[P(R_1\cap Y_2)=P(Y_2|R_1)P(R_1)\]

what is that?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
im not even that far in math to know that.. im in midddle schoool not high school..
OpenStudy (zarkon):
P(red on first and yellow on second)=P(yellow on 2nd given red on first)*P(red on first)
OpenStudy (black_ninja123):
The answer is 26% because 14/26*12/25=84/325
84/325 as a percent is 25.84%
