Suppose you want to find the probability of getting exactly 2 people with blue eyes when 5 people are randomly selected. Why can’t the answer be found as follows: Use the multiplication rule to find the probability of getting 2 people with blue eyes followed by 3 people with eyes that are not blue, which is (0.35)(0.35)(0.65)(0.65)(0.65)?
