2 red 8 blue
pick 4 with replacement
odds first 2 are red, last 2 are blue
1/5 x 1/5 x 4/5 x 4/5 = 16/625 = 2.56 %
but without replacement odds are
2/10 x 1/9 x 8/8 x 7/7 = 1/45 = 2.22...%
once you get 2 red, it's certain you get 2 blue on the next two draws
but the problem is what is the probability of drawing without replacement and getting 1st red and then 2 blue
that = 2/10 x 8/9 x 7/8 = 56/360 = 28/180 = 14/90 = 7/45 = 15.55...%
