Question 1021857: Suppose I pick a jelly bean at random from a box containing five red and seven blue ones. I record the color and put the jelly bean back in the box.
What is the probability of getting a red jelly bean both times if I do this twice? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The selection is done with replacement.
The probability of selecting a red bean the first time is 5/12.
The probability of picking another red bean the second time around is still 5/12 due to replacement.
==> The probability is , to three decimal places.
