What is the probability of drawing a yellow SweetTart three times in a row if each SweetTart selected is eaten before the next SweetTart is drawn?

Question

jaylan has a fun size bag of SweetTarts. Inside the bag are 4 pink, 1 blue, 2 yellow, 3 purple and 2 green SweetTarts. 

Answer 1

You cannot get 3 yellow if there are only 2 in

the bag to begin with!!!

It is sampling without of replacement

1st yellow: 2/12 = 1/6

2nd yellow: 1/11

If you insist on 3 yellows, then probability is ZERO,

as there are only two, and 1/6*1/11*0/10 = 0

If on the other hand, you are satisfied with only

the two yellow available, then

1/6*1/11 = 1/66
