Assuming that the balls are not replaced; 

[tex] \frac{6}{9}* \frac{5}{8}* \frac{4}{7}* \frac{3}{6} [/tex]= 5/42 

(the numbers are decreasing in the denominator as you are presumably taking out the red balls. In the denominator, there is one less ball each time since you took out a red one). 

Therefore, the probability of selected 4 red balls consecutively without replacement is 5/42. 

Hope I Helped :)
