Answer:

24.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words we need to find the probability of getting one blue counter and another non-blue counter in the two picks. Based on the stats provided, there are a total of 12 counters (6 + 4 + 2), out of which only 4 are blue. This means that the probability for the first counter chosen being blue is 4/12

Since we do not replace the counter, we now have a total of 11 counters. Since the second counter cannot be blue, then we have 8 possible choices. This means that the probability of the second counter not being blue is 8/11. Now we need to multiply these two probabilities together to calculate the probability of choosing only one blue counter and one non-blue counter in two picks.

$\frac{4}{12} * \frac{8}{11} = \frac{32}{132}$ or 0.2424 or 24.24%
