Question
![**Problem: Probability with Tulip Bulbs**
A bag of 32 tulip bulbs contains 14 red tulip bulbs, 8 yellow tulip bulbs, and 10 purple tulip bulbs. Suppose two tulip bulbs are randomly selected without replacement from the bag.
- (a) What is the probability that the two randomly selected tulip bulbs are both red?
- (b) What is the probability that the first bulb selected is red and the second yellow?
- (c) What is the probability that the first bulb selected is yellow and the second red?
- (d) What is the probability that one bulb is red and the other yellow?
**Solution Steps**
(a) *The probability that both bulbs are red is* [ ].
(*Round to three decimal places as needed.*)
