Two urns both contain green balls and red balls. Urn one contains 6 green balls and 7 red balls. A ball is drawn from each urn. What is the probability that both balls are red.

1 answer

Assuming the second urn has an equal number of green and red balls (since that is not specified in the problem), the probability of drawing a red ball from the first urn is 7/13, and the probability of drawing a red ball from the second urn is 1/2.

To find the probability of both events happening (drawing a red ball from each urn), we multiply the probabilities together:

(7/13) x (1/2) = 7/26

Therefore, the probability that both balls are red is 7/26 or approximately 0.269.
