Probability of combined events — practice question
Stephan has two bags, $A$ and $B$, and each bag contains only red sweets and yellow sweets. He chooses two sweets at random, taking one from bag $A$ and the other from bag $B$. The chance that Stephan chooses a red sweet from bag $A$ is $\frac{3}{5}$. The chance that Stephan chooses a red sweet from bag $A$ and a red sweet from bag $B$ is $\frac{2}{15}$.
