Sheldon Ross- A first course in Probability
An urn contains 6 white and 9 black balls. If 4 balls are to be randomly selected without replacement, what is the probability that the first 2 selected are white and the last 2 black. I solved it in this manner : (6C2 * 9C2)/ (15C4) --- getting 36 ... (6*5*9*8)/(15*14*13*12) --- 6/91 I cannot understand exactly why my approach is not working over here.
