Gump probabilities According to Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Suppose a candy maker offers a special “Gump box” with 20 chocolate candies that look alike. In fact, 14 of the candies have soft centers and 6 have hard centers. Choose 2 of the candies from a Gump box at random. Find the probability that both candies have soft centers.
