Golf Balls Yellow

golf balls yellow
How do I figure out this probability question?

Kaylee has 6 pink gold balls, 5 yellow Golf Balls, and 9 white golf balls in her golf bag. what is the probability of choosing a YELLOW golf ball and then a PINK golf ball if the first ball is NOT replaced.

I really don’t get what i have to do for this and I have so much problems
with probability..
Thanks Science & Math For Life!
That was the only answer choice
that was on the test next to the others,
so I’m sure that was right.

Thanks to everybody else. (:

You have 20 golf balls. You want to pick a yellow one, so you have a 5/20 chance.

5/20

Now you want a pink one, without replacing the first one(leaving only 19 balls). That gives you a 6 in 19 chance.

5/20 * 6/19 = 3/38
