1) If you buy 1 out of 100,000 programs, then you must calculate 1 in 100,000 probability
2) since 10 out of 18 is your chances of it being red, calculate that by forgeting the two color green and black and combining them to 8. Add all together to 18. 8 out of 18 chance, calculate your probability.
