$${method\_}\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${p}\left({A}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{15}}×\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{14}}\:=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}×\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{7}}=\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{35}} \\ $$

$${method\_}\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${n}\left({S}\right)=\:{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{15}} \:=\:\frac{\mathrm{15}×\mathrm{14}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\mathrm{105} \\ $$$${none}\:{of}\:{them}\:{are}\:{red}\rightarrow\left(\mathrm{2}{W}\right),\left(\mathrm{2}{B}\right),\left(\mathrm{1}{W},\mathrm{1}{B}\right) \\ $$$${n}\left({A}\right)={C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{5}} +{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{4}} +{C}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{5}} ×{C}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${n}\left({A}\right)=\:\mathrm{10}+\mathrm{6}+\mathrm{20}=\mathrm{36} \\ $$$${so}\:{p}\left({A}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{36}}{\mathrm{105}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{35}} \\ $$
