An container has 4 balls that are red and 6 balls that are blue. Two balls are chosen at random, one after the other, without replacement. (a) Find the probability that the first ball chosen is blue and the second ball chosen is red (write the answer as a fraction in the simplest form). (b) Find the probability that both balls chosen are blue (write the answer as a fraction in the simplest form).
