Hi
urn contains 18 balls: 5 yellow, 6 green and 7 blue balls
two balls are randomly drawn 'without' replacement
A. P(both balls are green) = %286%2F18%29%285%2F17%29
B. P(the first ball is blue and the second is yellow) = %287%2F18%29%285%2F17%29
C. P(there is one green and one yellow ball)= 6C1*5C1/18C2 = 30/153 = 10/51
