Question 296093: 18. Thomas, Jenna, and Maria are playing a game. They have a bag that contains 39 white tiles and 6 red tiles. Each player takes turns picking a tile at random and does not return the tiles to the bag. The player who draws a red tile first is the winner. In the first round, Thomas goes first, then Jenna, and then Maria, and none of them draws a red tile. What is the probability that Thomas will win the game on his second turn?
