of the 52 boxes on the shelf have the secret decoder ring. The other 34 boxes on the shelf have a different gift inside. If you randomly select two boxes of cereal from the shelf to purchase, what is the probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring?

Answer:

3/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of the first box to have the secret decoder ring is 18 out of 52:

  • 18/52= 9/26

Probability of the second box to have the ring is 17 out of 51, because one box with the ring already selected and not counted:

  • 17/51= 1/3

Probability that both of them have the secret decoder ring:

  • 9/26*1/3= 3/26

<u>So the answer is</u> 3/26
