A bag contains 3 green balls and 2 white balls, two balls are drawn together, what is the probability that:
-----
"drawn together" is without replacement.
=================
a. Both are green.
The 1st is 3 of 5, the 2nd is 2/4
(3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10
==============================
b. One is green and one is white.
The green is 3 of 5, the white is 2/4 ---> 3/10
---
Or, the white is 2 of 5, the green is 3 of 4 ---> 3/10
