Question

On the second day of Statistics, my teacher gave to me….two turtle doves. The pet store that my Statistics teacher frequents has 25 doves, of which 8 are turtle doves. (See * below. This is not a trick question as turtle doves really do exist. If you are visualizing a cross between a turtle and a dove, forget the idea. Turtle cheesecake does not contain any turtle either, and I can assure you that it exists also) What is the probability that the Statistics teacher randomly selected two turtle doves from this pet store?

Answer 1

This just like drawing without replacement, so your probability is

8/25 * 7/24 = 7/75
