Answer:
c. 0.3974
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
number of white balls, W = 17
number of red balls, R = 18
Total number of balls, T = 35
The number of ways the event will occur is given by
= P(2 whites) and P(2 reds)
= P(2whites) x P(2 reds)
= 17C2 x 18C2
= 136 x 153
= 20,808
The total number of possible outcome
= 35C4
= 52,360
The probability = 20,808 / 52,360
= 0.3974
The correct option is "C"
