Help please, confused.

Consider this experiment

Place five red and five blue coloured tiles in a bag. Without looking, take out two tiles. The two selected tiles are called an outcome. If the tiles are the same colour, the event is considered even. If the tiles are not the same colour, the event is considered odd. Then replace the tiles.

Suppose you just conducted 20 trials of the experiment. HOw many odd result would you expect to get? How many even results?

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Which do you think will happen more, odd events or even events?

On one trial, what is the probability that you will get different colors? That is, what is the probability that the second tile drawn is different from the first?

Then tell us what you have learned about probability, so we know what sort of help to offer.
