A certain tin contains exactly 10 identically shaped gumdrops, of which 2 are cherry, 2 are lemon, 2 are grape, 2 are cinnamon and 2 are strawberry. If 2 gumdrops are randomly selected, one at a time and without replacement, what is the probability that the second gumdrop is the same flavor as the first?
A. \(\frac{1}{45}\)
B. \(\frac{1}{25}\)
C. \(\frac{1}{9}\)
D. \(\frac{1}{5}\)
E. \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Here,
for the first draw we pick any gumdrop,
Now we have remaining 9 gumdrop and selection a matching flavor with the first one = \(\frac{1}{9}\)
