Question

a.both are blue
b.both balls are yellow
c.the first is red and the second is yellow
d.the first is red and the second is blue

Answer 1

I will assume that in each case, the first ball drawn is not returned.

prob(2 blue) = (12/35)(11/34) = ..
prob(2 yellow) = you do it
prob(red, then yellow) = (14/35)(9/34) = ...
prob(red, then yellow) = your turn again
