<span>33/532 or approximately 6.2% that both Sue and Jim will get red gumballs. For the purpose of this problem, going to group the gumballs into 2 sets. Red and anything else. The number of non-red gumballs is 50 + 150 + 100 = 300 The number of red gumballs is 100. So what's the probability of 2 random picks both being a red gumball. For the 1st pick, it's a simple matter of 100/400 = 1/4. For the second pick it's slightly more complicated since there's now only 99 red gumballs. So it's 99/399 = 33/133 To get the combined probability, just multiply them together. 33/133 * 1/4 = 33/532 which is approximately 6.2%</span>
