A counter is chosen at rondom, is not replaced, then a second counter is chosen.
What is the probability that the counters chosen are different colours?
In a bag there are 4 red counters and 8 blue counters. One counter is chosen at random from the bag, and is not replaced. This is repeated until three counters have been chosen. What is the probability that all 3 counters are red?
