Question 991118: Suppose I pick a jelly bean at random from a box containing eight red and four blue ones. I record the color and put the jelly bean back in the box.
What is the probability of getting a red jelly bean both times if I do this twice? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Since you are replacing the item drawn on the first draw, then the two events are independent. Therefore, the probability of both events is the product of their individual probabilities.
