    To determine the probability, you'll find first of the probability of getting a white counter, and then the probability that you will not get a white counter the second time or the probability of not getting a white counter the first time and getting a white counter the second time. Both would result in the same answers.

    5/11 x 6/10 or 6/11 x 5/10

    30/110 or 3/11 is your probability.
