Hi, Previously Posted
A box contains blue and green balls in ratio 3:4. 21 balls in the box
b%2Fg+=+3%2F4 b = .75g and .75g + g = 21, g+=+21%2F1.75+=+12
12 green and and 9 blue, total of 21
2 balls are taken one after the other without replacement
P(2 balls are the same color) = P(both Green) + P(both blue) = %2812%2F21%29%2811%2F20%29+%2B+%289%2F21%29%288%2F20%29
