    (b) In a class activity, all the 15 students wear hats.
    7 students wear red hats, 6 students wear green hats and 2 students wear white hats.
    (i) One of these students is picked at random.
    Find the probability that this student wears a red hat.
    (ii) Two of the 15 students are picked at random.
    Show that the probability that these two students wear hats of the same colour is 37/105.
