Two marbles are drawn without replacement from a box with 5 white, 2 green, 2 red, and 1 blue marble. Find the probability that both marbles are white.

Question

Well there are 10 marbles in all. You get that from adding the numbers it gives you so 5+2+2+1 = 10
The means 5/10 of a chance to get a white
2/10 to get a green
2/10 to get a red
1/10 to get a blue.
So to draw two white marbles only has 5/10 (or reduced to 1/2) of a probability.
Was that all the specifications of the problem?
