Trees don't work very well in typed text; I'll let you draw the tree.

a) P(both left) = P(first left AND second left) = (4/25)(3/24) = 1/50

b) P(one each) = P(first left AND second right OR first right AND second left) = P(first left AND second right) + P(first right AND second left) = (4/25)(19/24)+(19/25)(4/24) = 19/150+19/150 = 19/75

c) P(both right) = P(first right AND second right) = (19/25)(18/24) = 57/100

d) P(both ambidextrous) = P(first ambidextrous AND second ambidextrous) = (2/25)(1/24) = 1/300

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
