The probability of drawing a red ball from Jar A is 6/10 or 3/5. The probability of drawing a red ball from Jar B is 8/20 or 2/5. To find the probability of both events happening (drawing red from both jars), you multiply the probabilities together:
P(red and red) = (3/5) x (2/5) = 6/25 or 0.24
Therefore, the probability of drawing a red ball from both jars is 6/25 or 0.24.
Jar A contains 4 green balls and 6 red balls. Jar B contains 12 green balls and 8 red balls. If a ball is drawn from each jar, what is P(red and red)?
