Assuming that the selection process was done without replacement, the probability of selecting two white mugs without replacement is 1/28

<h2>Given data</h2>

Sample Space

Red mugs = 4

yellow mugs = 8

white mugs = 2

Sample Size = 4+8+2 = 14

We are going to assume the selection was done with out replacement

Hence the probability of selecting the first white mug is

<em>The probability of selecting the second white mug is </em>

<em />

Hence the probability of selecting two white mugs one after another

= 1/4*1/7

=1/28
