p(head) is 0.5

#

p(tail) is 0.5

#

so p(head twice) is 0.5x0.5

#

which is 0.25

#

it makes sense when u think about it irl

#

do the same for the q

#

u have 3 toffees out of 8 sweets

#

so 3/8 chance

#

when u take one out, u will have one less toffee, and also one less sweet in total

#

so getting toffee the second time is 2/7

#

getting toffee the first time AND the second time is 3/8 x 2/7

#

which is 3/28

Hey @wanton helm thanks for taking your time to respond

#

Yes I got the entire part you just explained already

#

My problem is it said if both chocolates are the same then what is the probability

#

If it just said what is the probability then that would’ve been 3/28

#

So I’m just confused now

#

Omg I got the question right I got it right but didn’t leave my answer in it’s simplest form

#

Thank you though for responding

#

I really appreciate it
