Question 609989: I have 8 cans of soft drinks, 4 different brands with 1 regular and 1 diet for each brand. I arrange 4 cans in a row randomly. Find probability that first two are diet and second two are regular?
[I know the anser is 3/35, but I'm not sure how to get this using the combination of 2 out of 4 for regular, and 2 out of 4 for diet. Thanking you in advance for the direction!]
