Question: when using the probability multiplication rule without replacement, does the top number of the fraction go down one each time? for example: McDonald's Burger King

when using the probability multiplication rule without replacement, does the top number of the fraction go down one each time?

for example:

McDonald's Burger King Wendy's Taco Bell
order accurate 329 263 249 145
order not accurate 33 54 31 13

'If two orders are selected, find the probability that they are both from Taco Bell.' a. assume that the selections are made with replacement. b. assume that the selections are made without replacement.

==> a. (158/1118)(158/1118) = .02 b.- IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SOLVE THIS: (158/1118)(158/1117) OR (158/1118) (157/1117)
