 \textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}

.............................................................................................

Total blocks = 9

Red blocks = 4

P(2 red blocks) = (4/9) (3/8) = 1/6

.............................................................................................

Answer: The probability is (A) 1/6

soonbok2: where did you get the 3/8 from?
TooFree: Because there is no replacement, the number of red blocks will be reduced by 1 and the number of total blocks will also be reduced by 1
TooFree: (4 - 1) / ( 9 - 1) = 3/8
soonbok2: ohh okay thank you!
TooFree: You are welcome :)
