br
wr
wb

add the probability of each of these.

I will do the first two:
Pr(rb)=3/6*2/5
Pr(rw)=3/6*1/5
ok but how do i find the final probability?
i see how i can get the probability of a certain combination, but i don't understand how i can find that end probability.
never mind i got it
thank you so much bobpursley!
