Question

James has 3 blue candies and 3 green candies. 3 people come in and take 2 candies. What is the probability that they do not take 2 candies of the same color?

~ pls solve, i'm really confused

Answer 1

33.3333333333

Explanation:

we see that there are 6 candies in total

we also see that there is a 50% chance that someone will take out 3 candies of the same color,

50/3 = 16.66666666666667

so the chance of getting 2 marbles of the same color is 16.66666666666667 + 16.66666666666667 which is 33.3333333333

I hope I could help
