ANSWER:
The probability of choosing a bear first then a lion is 81/650
SOLUTION:
This is a permutation and probability problem
The total cookies are 26
The combination for the total cookies is 26 * (26-1) = 26*25
The permutation for choosing a bear then a lion is 9 * 9
The probability is the permutation of choosing the bear over the permutation in total combination for total cookies
[tex]\frac{9\times9}{26\times25}=\frac{81}{650}[/tex]
