4 red chips and 2 blue chips

Expert replies
by uptowngirl92 » Thu Oct 29, 2009 1:15 am
Guys please tell me where am i going wrong:

A box contains 4 red chips and 2 blue chips. If two chips are selected at random without replacement, what is the probability that the chips are different colors?


............................................................
My solution:
Got the correct answer by the following method.
(4/6)(2/5)+(2/6)(4/5)= 8/15>>OA

My querie:
Why are we not getting the answer when we do 1-same color??
1-Both red + 1-both blue
(4/6)(3/6)+(2/6)(1/6)

Hey Uptowngirl!
Actually we can do this.
In 1-x shortcut, (under the right solution) you forgot that we are not replacing chips.
So.
4/6*3/5+2/6*1/5=7/15 ;) 1-7/15=8/15.
So this approach is alright!

Also you could do this problem with combinatorics.
Total outcomes : 6!/4!2!=15, then we taking 1 out of 4 red chips , 4!/3!=4, and 1 out of 2 blue chips. 2!/1!=2.
4*2/15=8/15
:idea:
