Question

A bag contains 24 red and blue gumballs 12 are red and 12 are blue. Find the probability of drawing two red gumballs without replacement. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability of red ball = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

P = No of favourable outcomes/No of total possible outcomes

P = 12/24

P = 1/2

Answer 2

For first draw,
Probability = 12/24 = 1/2

For 2nd draw,
Probability = 11/23

Total probability = 1/2 x 11/23
= 11/46
