Answer:

1. 1/4

2. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are equal numbers of males and females, we can simplify that by saying there's one male and one female for each coat color.

1. What's the probability that both are males?

Well, there's a 1/2 chances the light-colored coat bear is a male and there's also a 1/2 chances the dark-colored coat bear is a male.  So, we can make this reference table:

<u>Light             Dark</u>

<em>Male             Male</em>

Male             Female

Female         Male

Female         Female

As you can see, the probability that both of the spotted bears are males is 1/4 (1/2 * 1/2).

2. If the light-colored bear, what are the odds both are males?

If we know for sure the light-one is male, then there's 1/2 chances the other is too, refer to the table above to verify.
