The probability of getting the same colour twice is approximately 34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting each color is:

P(x=red) = 3/11 P(x=blue) = 4/11P(x=green) = 4/11

Then, we can calculate the probability of getting the color red twice as:

P(x_1=R;x_2=R)=P(x=R)^2=(3/11)^2=9/121

We have to repeat this for the color blue and green:

P(x_1=B;x_2=B)=P(x=B)^2=(4/11)^2=16/121\\\\P(x_1=G;x_2=G)=P(x=G)^2=(4/11)^2=16/121

Then, the probability of getting the same color twice in two spins can be calculated as:

P=P(x_1=R;x_2=R)+P(x_1=B;x_2=B)+P(x_1=G;x_2=G)=\\\\P=9/121+16/121+16/121\\\\P=41/121\approx0.34
