    question about calculating probabilities

    Hello,

    I have 11 red balls and 40 blue balls, therefore 51 in total.

    I choose 16 of them. I do not put them back, so remains 35.

    What are the chances to get 11 red and 5 blue among the chosen 16 ?

    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Frederic
