Grace has 2 yellow balloons and 3 red balloons. Her brother, Caleb, is going to pop two of the balloons at random. What is the probability that he pops one of the yellow balloons and one of the red balloons?

Answer 1

prob(yellow, then red) = (2/5)(3/4) = 3/10
prob(red, then yellow) = 3/5(2/4) = 3/10

so prob(your event) = 6/10 = 3/5

Answer 2
