I assume you mean \"8+\"reds?
\n" ); document.write( "\"8\" Red
\n" ); document.write( "\"5\" Blue
\n" ); document.write( "\"3\" Yellow
\n" ); document.write( "\"16\" total
\n" ); document.write( "I assume you mean two are chosen without replacement.
\n" ); document.write( "P(1B or 1Y) means P(not both reds)
\n" ); document.write( "Find P(not both reds)
\n" ); document.write( "P(both reds)+P(not both reds)=\"1\"
\n" ); document.write( "P(not both reds)=\"1\"-P(both reds)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "P(R,R)=\"%288%2F16%29%287%2F15%29=%281%2F2%29%287%2F15%29=7%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( "P(not both reds)=\"1-7%2F30\"
