A box has 6 black, 4 red, 2 white and 3 blue shirts. Find the probability of drawing 2 black shirts if they are picked randomly?

  • A.1/8
  • B.2/15
  • C.6/15
  • D.1/7

Answer: D

\[ P = \frac{{}^{6}C_{2}}{{}^{15}C_{2}} = \frac{15}{105} = \frac{1}{7} \]

Equivalently, drawing one after the other: \( \tfrac{6}{15} \times \tfrac{5}{14} = \tfrac{30}{210} = \tfrac{1}{7} \). The \( \tfrac{6}{15} \) option ignores the second draw entirely.
