Question 1126251: Suppose that the inside bottom of a box is painted with three colors: 1/3 of the bottom area is red, 1/6 is blue, and 1/2 is white. You toss a tiny pebble into the box without aiming and note the color on which the pebble lands. Then you toss another tiny pebble into the box without aiming and note the color on which that pebble lands.
What is the probability that both pebbles land on the color red? Answer by ikleyn(52817) (Show Source):
