Question 1155501: A box contains 7 yellow, 15 green and 17 red jelly beans.
If 2 jelly beans are selected without replacement, what is the probability that:
a) Exactly 1 is yellow and 1 is green? Answer by ikleyn(52776) (Show Source):
There are 7 + 15 + 17 = 39 jelly beans, in all.
P(1st is yellow, 2-nd is green) = =
