Tate has bag of golf balls: 3 red, 5 blue, 2 yellow, and 2 green. What is the probability that he pulls out a red one, replaces it, and then pulls out another red one?

3 red, 5 blue, 2 yellow, 2 green ... total of 12 bags

probability first one being red : 3/12 reduces to 1/4

replaces it

probability of second one being red : 3/12 reduces to 1/4

probability of both : 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
