In a colour preference experiment, eight toys are placed in a container. The toys are identical except for colour - two are red, six are green. A child is asked to choose two toys one by one at random without replacement (the child picks one toy randomly. keeps it out of the container and picks another toy at random). What is the probability that the child chooses green toys?

|\Omega|=8\cdot7=56\\|A|=6\cdot5=30\\\\P(A)=(30)/(56)=(15)/(28)\approx53.6\%
