Question 1015849: A jelly bean is drawn at random from a container that contains 1 red and 1 green. If the red is selected, it is returned to the container. If the green jelly bean is drawn, that bean together with another green jelly bean is returned to the container then another jelly bean is drawn, with the same rules for returning it to the container. What is the probability of drawing 2 reds then 3 greens? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You want R-R-G-G-G
R .5
R .5
G .5
G 2/3 << Now we have 2G and 1R
G 3/4 << Now we have 3G and 1R
This multiplies through to 6/96 or 1/16
