Violet has four pairs of studded earrings in her jewelry box, each pair a different colour - red,

blue, pink and green. She selects one earring at a time, in random order, from her jewelry

box.

b) What is the probability that Violet has a matching pair after selecting the second

earring?

c) Hence, what is the probability that she does NOT have a matching pair after selecting

the second earring?

d) Violet decides to select a third earring after being unsuccessful with her first two

earrings. Find the probability that she does NOT have a matching pair after selecting

the third earring.
