Hi,
green%2819%29seeds: 7 seeds for red flowers and 12 seeds for white flowers
Two flower seeds are randomly selected
P(both red) = %287C2%29%2F%2819C2%29+=+21%2F171 = .123
P(one of each c0lor) = %287C1%29%2812C1%29%2F%2819C2%29+=+7%2A12%2F171+=+84%2F171 = .491
P(both white) = %2812C2%29%2F%2819C2%29+=+66%2F171 = .386
