The probability that she will select a black pen both times if she takes a pen from the box without replacing the first one is 41.176%.

Given that

Six black, four blue, and seven red pens are included in a box. Clarissa takes a black pen at random from the box without even looking.

We have to find what is the probability that she will select a black pen both times if she takes a pen from the box without replacing the first one.

Based on the given conditions, formulate:

7/(7+6+4)

7/(13+4)

7/17

0.41176

41.176%

Therefore, the probability that she will select a black pen both times if she takes a pen from the box without replacing the first one is 41.176%.
