Re: There are 15 slate rocks, 20 pumice rocks, and 10 granite...

in all there are 45 number of rocks including all type of them
15 slate+20 pumice+10 granite=45 rocks

2 rocks can be selected in 45C2 ways=22*45

on other hand to select 2 slate rocks can be selected in 15c2 ways = 7*15

hence probability of slate rock picking=(7*15)/(22*45)=7/66
