I think we need to know how many of each type of ball there is in the bag and whether we are sampling with or without replacement.

My first question would be how many of each color balls are there? Is there only 1 red ball and 1 blue ball? If yes, then you would need to multiply the probabilities. For the first event, your chance is 1/2 to get a red ball. This is the same for all six events, so 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2. Therefore the answer is 1/64. Remember, this is only if there is 1 red and 1 blue ball or a 50/50 chance of getting a red ball.
