20 balls, 8 red ,3 white ,9 blue

(1) at least 1 is white: That is: P = 1 - NO white
Each parenthesis represents a draw - each draw results in less of the specific type and less marbles
P(at least 1 white) =1 - NO white= 1 -

(2) 1 of each color is drawn: P = 1 -NO red - NO blue - NO white
P =1-

(3) the balls are drawn in the order red ,white blue .
P =
