Question 1126267: Assume that a box contains three red jelly beans and two green ones. We consider the event that a red bean is drawn.
Suppose I pick a jelly bean from the box without looking, and I do not put the bean back in the box. Then I choose a bean again.
What is the probability of getting two red beans?

There is a 3/5 probability of getting a red one, then there are four beans left and the probability of getting a red one is 2/4.
That product is 3/10.
