There are 9+6 = 15 checkers in the bag. 6 of them are red. 6 out of 15 are red. Drawing a red checker has a probability of P = 6/15 = 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%

Since you replace the checker, the probability Q that red is drawn again remains 0.4.

The probability of both events occurring (red drawn twice) equals the product of probabilities, PQ = (0.4)*(0.4) = 0.16.
