    (9/35) = 0.257

    Explanation:

    Box contains 9 new light bulbs and 6 used light bulbs, total number of bulbs = 15.

    Probability of selecting two bulbs; a new light bulb and then, a used light bulb in that order = [ (probability of selecting a new bulb) * (probability of selecting a used bulb from the rest) ] = [ (9/15) * (6/14) ] = (9/35) = 0.257
