Question

A pond is freshly stocked with 15 brown trout and 9 lake trout. The first fisherman in the area catches and releases a trout. He catches another trout a while later. What is the probability that the fisherman caught brown trout each time?

Answer 1

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

15/24 * 15/24 = ?

Answer 2

25/64
