Question 452753: A bag contains 25 gummy bears: five each of green, red, black, orange, and yellow. If you pick 2 gummy bears from the bag, what is the probability that the gummy bears will be the same color?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first gummy bear you pick can be any color, so it can be any one of the 25. The probability of that is 25/25, or 1. The second then has to be one of the 4 others of that color. The probability of that is 4/24, or 1/6. So the probability is 1 * 1/6, or 1/6.
