Question

For this problem, assume there are 5 grey females, 4 grey males, 2 white females, and 6 white males. As in the book, the biologist selects two mice randomly. (1) What is the probability of selecting two males given that both are grey?

Answer 1

Answer:

The required probability is  0.04411

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of female grey mice = 5.

The number of males grey mice = 4.

The number of female white mice = 2.

The number of male white mice = 6.

The number of mice = 17.

The probability of first mice be male grey = $\frac{4}{17}$

The probability of second mice be male grey = $\frac{3}{16}$

The probability of two mice be male grey = $\frac{4}{17} *\frac{3}{16}$  = 0.04411
