A bag contains 3 green marbles, and 2 blue marbles. If 2 marbles are selected, what is the probability of picking 2 green marbles?
There are \(\displaystyle C(5,2)=10\) to select 2 marbles. There are \(\displaystyle 3\) ways to select 2 green from 3 green. This gives the probability \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{10}\)
