Two marbles are drawn from a bag containing 6 white, 4 red, and 6 green marbles. Find the probability of both marbles being white.
-------------
# of ways to select 2 white: 6C2 = 15
# of ways to select 2 of any color: 16C2 = 120
-----------------------
Prob(selecting 2 white) = 15/120 = 3/24 = 1/8
