(i) both are red?
(ii) both are of the same colour
(iii) they are different in colour?

2.The probability that a man will be alive in 25 years is 0.75, and the probability that his wife will be alive in 25 years is 0.88. Find the probability that
(i) both will be alive in 25 years;

1.
i) P(R^R)=12/26*12/26
ii) P(same color)=(6C2+8C2+12C2)/26C2
iii) P(different) =1 minus above prob

2.
i) P(both live)=.75*.88
ii) P(wife live)=(1-.75)*.88
iii) P(at least one live)=1-P(both die)=1-(1-.75)*(1-.88)

Correct me if it's wrong. Kinda sleepy now. G'night.

1.(ii)
Pr(same colour)
= Pr(both are white) + Pr(both are green) + Pr(both are red)
= (6/26)² + (8/26)² + (36/169)
= (9/169) + (16/169) + (36/169)
= 61/169

Star's answer is for two balls drawn WITHOUT replacement.
