This combines the probability that: 2 blue balls are picked followed by 1 green and 1 red, 2 blue balls are picked followed by 1 red and 1 green, 2 green balls are picked followed by 1 blue and 1 red, 2 green balls are picked followed by 1 red and 1 blue, 2 red balls are picked followed by 1 blue and 1 green, 2 red balls are picked followed by 1 green and 1 blue. Can you find each of them? Then add all of them together. |
