The probability that the 1st one is green is  = 
The probability that the 2nd one is green is  
The probability that the 3rd one is green is  = 
The probability that the 4th one is green is  
The probability that the 5th one is green is  = 
The probability that the 6th one is green is  = 

Desired probability 
            
 =
