You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two objects are selected at random from a set consisting of 6 red objects and 4 blue objects. What is the probability p that neither is red?
-----
# of ways to succeed: 4C2 = 6
# of possible outcomes: 10C2 = 45
------
P(none of 2 are red) = P(2 are blue) = 6/45 = 2/15
