Question

Those shortlisted are entered into a final game of chance. There are six balls in a bag (2 blue balls, 2 green balls and 2 golden balls). To win, a company needs to take out two golden balls. The first ball is not replaced.

What is the probability of winning?

Answer 1

The probability of taking it the first time: 2/6
The probability of taking it the second time: 1/5
Thus: 2/6 times 1/5= 1/15

What if I didn't take the golden ball the first time?
This question is about TAKING the ball or winning in your case, so don't think about not taking the ball.
