  1. A bag contains 19 red beads and 1 blue bead only.
Linda selects a bead at random from the bag. She notes its colour and replaces the bead in the bag. She then selects a second bead at random from the bag and notes its colour. Find the probability that
  1. both beads selected are blue,
  2. exactly one bead selected is red. In another bag there are 9 beads, 4 of which are green and the rest are yellow.
    Linda selects 3 beads from this bag at random without replacement.
  3. Find the probability that 2 of these beads are yellow and 1 is green. Linda replaces the 3 beads and then selects another 4 at random without replacement.
  4. Find the probability that at least 1 of the beads is green.
