If you have 10 pills, 6 reds and 4 blues, what is the probability you will get all 4 blue pills when you take 6 pills?

hypergeometric

6C2/10C6 = [(6*5)/2]/[(10*9*8*7)/(4*3*2)] = 1/14

I dunno. They're in Algebra I (high school freshman mathematics) in New York. What state are you in??

We did sets in Algebra I which would be 8th grade math for us in Texas. We never really worked with them too much though. I wasn't exposed to set theory until college.
