A box contains 2 white and 3 blue identical marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, one after the other without replacement, what is the probability of picking two marbles of different colors?
Total number of marbles = 5; 1st pick = 2/5 2nd pick = 3/4; 3rd pick = 3/5; 4th pick = 2/4
∴ Probability of picking two marbles of different colors = (2/5 x 3/4) + (3/5 + 2/4) = 12/20 = 3/5
