What is the probability of getting two pinks balls?

Asked by Pinguidchance (5040points) July 8th, 2017

I have two purses: one is pink and the other is periwinkle.

The pink purse contains 1 pink ball and 6 periwinkle balls. The periwinkle purse contains one pink ball and 14 periwinkle balls. I draw 1 ball from the pink purse with my left hand and 1 ball from the periwinkle purse with my right hand, simultaneously with replacement, until either 1 or 2 pinks balls are revealed.

What is the probability that 2 pink balls will be revealed at the same time (finishing the game)?

What is the probability that 1 pink ball will appear in my right hand (finishing the game)?
