A jar of specialty jelly beans contains 54 banana jelly beans, 42 root beer jelly beans, and 28 watermelon jelly beans. You reach into the jar and randomly select a jelly bean, then select another without putting the first jelly bean back. What is the probability that you draw 2 banana flavored jelly beans?

|\Omega|=124\cdot123=15252\\|A|=54\cdot53=2862\\\\P(A)=(2862)/(15252)=(477)/(2542)\approx18.8\%
