I find a bowl of Christmas M&M’s (only red and green) that Deb has hidden from me in the house one day. I quickly grab a handful before being caught. Before shoving them into my mouth to get rid of the evidence, I notice that I have selected six red M&M’s and no green ones. Let’s say there were 8 green and 10 red M&M’s in the bowl before my discovery.

What is the probability of this event occurring?
