Your brother is saving labels from soup cans. He removes the labels from three cans of pea soup,
five cans of vegetable soup and four cans of onion soup, and does not indicate the contents of the
twelve cans after removing the labels. You need two cans of onion soup to make your special
stew. What is the probability that two cans selected at random will both contain onion soup?

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
4/12 * (4-1)/(12-1) = ?
4/12 * (4-1)/(12-1) = ?
