Look at the probability instead of getting two colors the same \n" ); document.write( "B: (5/12)(4/11) \n" ); document.write( "R: (4/12)(3/11) \n" ); document.write( "G: (3/12)(2/11) \n" ); document.write( "That sum is (20+12+6)/132 or 38/132 or 19/66\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The probability of getting two different colors is 1-(19/66) or 47/66 or 0.712 \n" ); document.write( " |
