  1. Question 1

    Q1. A bag contains 5 red and 3 blue balls. What is the probability of drawing 2 blue balls in succession without replacement?

    • A) 3/14
    • B) 3/28
    • C) 1/14
    • D) 5/28

    Answer: 1/14

    Explanation: Probability = (3/8) * (2/7) = 6/56 = 3/28, but the question is about drawing 2 blue balls, so the correct calculation directly gives 3/8 * 2/7.
