OpenStudy (raden):

if it just asking about different color combinations are possible, they are (1red,1green),(1red,1blue),(1blue,1green). so, there are only 3 combinations i think

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

I think there are many more options here...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its just those

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

No, what I mean is, since we are choosing 2 balls out of the bag, we just have to think about the possible scenarios

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok srry

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

So, you could get two red balls... two green balls, but cannot ever get two blue balls since there is only 1.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

So, the complete listing is just: RR GG RG RB GB
