First pick: Random apple
2 out of the 5 apples are red. Therefore, the probability of choosing a red apple is:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]Second pick: Red apple removed
We're left with 4 apples, one of which is red.
Therefore, the probability of choosing the red apple from this bowl is:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]To get the probability of the two events happening right next to each other, we mulitply both probabilities:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{10}[/tex]Meaning that the probability that both apples chosen will be red is 1/10, or 10%
