Probability of picking the first blue card is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=3%2F%283%2B4%2B6%29=3%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now the number of blue cards and total cards has been reduced by 1.
\n" ); document.write( "The probability of picking the second blue card is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%2F12=1%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then the probability of picking two blue cards without replacement is then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=%283%2F13%29%281%2F6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28P=1%2F26%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
