Hans · Answer 1

The probability of drawing the Red 4 is 1 in 10. So, the chances of getting it would be 1/10. The probability is also the same for drawing the Blue 4, so it would be 1/10 also.

The probability assignment for this problem is the classical method which means that experimental outcomes are equally likely. So, just multiply the probability of the first event to the second event.

= 1/10 * 1/10 = 1/100

The probability of getting the blue and red four is 1/100 or 0.01.
