6 blue pencils and 3 red pencils means 9 total pencils. So the probability of pulling out ONE blue pencil would be 6/9 or about 67 percent. TWO blue pencils would be HALF of that. So 6/9 * 1/2 which is 6/18 or 1/3 or about 33 percent.

The probability that both pencils drawn from the pencil holder are blue is 5/12.

What is the probability?

Probability is used to calculate the odds that an event would occur. The probability that the event would occur lies between 0 and 1.

The probability that both are blue = (number of blue pencils / total number of pencils) x (number of blue pencils / total number of pencils - 1)

6/9 x 5/8 = 5/12
