5/15 or 3rd Chance.

Step-by-step explanation: If you add all of the straws together, and take the amount of medium straws there are: the probability will be limited to the amount of medium straws - of course with the total amount involved. Though, I'm not entirely sure, It's been a while since I've done anything like that.
