Inside the box of every cereal box contains a surprise gift.

The store manager assures employees that 22 of the 60 boxes on the shelf have a secret decoder ring.

And inside the other 38 boxes on the shelf contain a different gift.

If two cereal boxes are randomly selected from the shelf to purchase.

Then the probability that both of them have the secret decoder ring will be

The total events will be

Total event = ⁶⁰C₂

Total event = 1770

The favorable events will be

Favorable event = ²²C₂

Favorable event = 231

Then the probability will be

P = 231/1770

P = 0.1305
