Explanation / Answer

Red bulbs = 12

Yellow bulbs =10

Purple bulbs = 7

P(Red bulbs) = 12/29 = 0.413

P(yellow bulbs) =10/29 = 0.344

P(purple bulbs) = 7/29 = 0.241

P( both the bulbs are red) = 12/29 * 11/28

= 0.1622

P( First is red and the second is yellow) = 12/29 * 10/28

= 0.1477

P( First is yellow and second is red) = 10/29 * 12/28

= 0.1477

P( One bulb is red and other is yellow ) = P( First yellow and second red) + P(First red and second yellow)

= 0.1477 +0.1477

=0.2954
