Question 438042: After reading to a kindergarten class at the library, Tobey gives out stickers. He has 9 zoo animal stickers and 16 scratch-n-sniff stickers. IF Tobey gives the stickets out at random, what is the probability that the first child gets a scratch-n-sniff sticker and the second child gets a zoo animal sticker?

P(zoo 2nd | scratch 1st) = (9/25)(16/24) = (9/25)(2/3) = 6/25
