The answer is 9/37. Since you have aready picked a candy, there are 37 left in the bag and since you picked a red one, there are only 9 of those.

Holly Snyder · Answer 2

You have a total of 38 candies to begin with. If you pick a blue one and do not replace it, then you'll now have 37. There are 10 red candies out of 37. The answer is A.
