Elliot has x counters.

Each counter has one red face and one green face.

Elliot spreads all the counters out on a table and sees that the number of counters showing a red face is 5

Elliot then picks at random one of the counters and turns the counter over. He then picks at random a second counter and turns the counter over. The probability that there are still 5 counters showing a red face is
