random and then replaces it.
Grace then picks a second
counter.

1. What would the probability for white under the first pick be ? 2/7
2. What is the probability of Grace picking 2 black counters ? 5/7 x 5/7 = 25/49
3. What is probability of Grace picking 2 white counters ? 2/7 x 2/7 = 2/49
4. What is the probability of grace picking 1 white and 1 black counter ? 2/7 x 5/7 = 10/49
