The probability of grabbing a large jersey the first time is:

$(6)/(6+9+4)=(6)/(19)\text{.}$

Now, the probability of grabbing another large jersey is:

$(5)/(5+9+4)=(5)/(18)\text{.}$

Therefore, the probability of grabbing 2 large jerseys is:

$(6)/(19)\cdot(5)/(18)=(30)/(342)=(5)/(57)\text{.}$

Answer:

$(5)/(57)\text{.}$
