a.1/9
b.25/39

d.77/180
i think its b. PLz help when you get the chance and thank you for your time. :)

  1. no, the events are independent, so you multiply the probabities of each event
    urn1, prob(red) = 14/24
    urn2, prob(red) = 11/15

    prob(red and red) = (14/25)(11/15) = 77/180

    btw, an urn is an ancient clay pot or jug.
    e.g. read: Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats

  14. Whether you do the deed of killing or have someone do it it's the same thing. As long as we lean from the bad part of history and move on that is all that matters. We all need to make a better and safer place for our friends and family.
