\n" ); document.write( " \"highlight%2825%29\"total... little boy eats 7 of them at random.
\n" ); document.write( " a. P(3 are red)= 8C3 *17C4 / 25C7 = 56*2380/480700
\n" ); document.write( " b. 3 are red, and 2 are yellow =8C3* 7C2 *15C2 / 25C7
\n" ); document.write( " c. At least 1 is orange = 1-P(no orange) = 1-22C7/ 25C7 = 1 - 170544/480700
\n" ); document.write( " d. At least 1 is orange and 1 is brown =1-P(no orange or brown)) =1-20C7/25C7=1-77520/480700
