    4/225

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

    Probability = Possible outcome of events/total outcome of event

    If there are 2 seashells and 13 rocks in a bag, the total number of seashells and rocks will be our total outcome = 2+13 = 15

    If a seashell is chosen at random from the bag, the possible outcome will be the total number of seashells = 2

    Probability of selecting seashell the first time = 2/15

    Probability of selecting seashell the second time = 2/15

    The probability that you choose both of the seashells from the bag = 2/15*2/15

    = 4/225
