A = {(2b,1w),(2b,1r),(2r,1w),(2r,1b),(2w,1b),(2w,1r)}  p(A) = 3×((4/(15)).(3/(14))((5/(13))+(6/(13)))+(6/(15)).(5/(14))((5/(13))+(4/(13)))+(5/(15)).(4/(14))((4/(13))+(6/(13))))              = 3×(((12.11)/(15.14.13))+((30.9)/(15.14.13))+((20.10)/(15.14.13)))             = ((132+270+200)/(14.13.5)) =((602)/(910)) = ((301)/(455))=((43)/(65))
