Answer 1

can someone help me with this question

Answer 2

Well, can you first find the probability of picking 1 red candle?
Hint: There are 4 candles in all, 2 are red

Answer 3

Welp, you went offline, so I"ll just explain it .-.

Answer 4

The first part would be\[ \frac {2}{4} \]because there are 2 red candles, out of the 4 in all
Without replacement, there would be 3 candles left, with only one red \[ \frac{1}{3} \]
So we would do \[ \frac {2}{4}~ times ~\frac {1}{3} \]
