Say you pick a 6 and then a 4, remember without replacement means no two numbers are the same.
The minimum of a 6 and a 4 is 4. It means the smallest value out of the two numbers picked.

Thanks bobbym
But I did not understand the meaning of minimum of 2 no. is < 4 (whta does it mean)

Hi jacks;
Fairly simple to just enumerate:
If I draw a six, I have 3 numbers to pick, same for a 5 and a 4. So that is 3 * 3 = 9
If I draw a 3, I have 5 numbers to pick, same with 2 and 1. So 3 * 5 = 15.
Probability is 4 / 5.

Two no. are selected from the set
without replacement one by one .Then the probability that minimum of 2 no. is
