In a basket, there are 7 male kittens and 5 female kittens. donna randomly selects one, puts it back, and then randomly selects another. what is the probability that both selections were female kittens?

We are given that

number of male kittens =7

number of female kittens =5

total number of kittens = number of male kittens + number of female kittens

total number of kittens = 7+5

total number of kittens = 12

now, we can find probability of selecting female kittens

P(female kittens)=(number of female kittens)/( total number of kittens)

P(female kittens) is

now, we are given that

Donna randomly selects one, puts it back, and then randomly selects another

so, both probability are independent

so,

the probability that both selections were female kittens is

=P(female kittens)*P(female kittens)

now, we can plug values

the probability that both selections were female kittens is
