Lisa has nine rings in her jewelry box. Five are gold and four are silver. If she randomly selects 3 rings to wear to a party, find each probability:
-------------------------------------
P(2 silver or 2 gold) = P(2 silver) + P(2 gold) = 5C2/9C2 + 4C2/9C2
= [10+6]/36 = 4/9
-----------------------------
P(at least 2 gold) = P(2 gold) + P(3 gold) = 5C2/9C2 + 5C3/9C2
= [10+10]/36 = 5/9
