Eloise is playing a game that consists of placing 21 colored slips of paper into a bag, drawing one slip, and then drawing a second slip without replacing the first. In order to win, she must draw two slips of paper that are both blue. There are 4 slips of blue, 7 slips of red, 5 slips of green, 2 slips of yellow, and 3 slips of orange paper in the bag.
