Algebra.Com's Answer #681789 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first is 4C3*5C3 all divided by 9C6, the number of ways of choosing the 6 flowers. \n" ); document.write( "=4*10/84=40/84 \n" ); document.write( "That is 10/21 \n" ); document.write( "The other possibilities are 2 red, 4 white, which is 30/84, 1 red and 5 white, 4 ways, and 4 red 2 white, which is 10 ways. \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "at least 1 is the same as 1-none. \n" ); document.write( "probability of none is e^(-2)*2^0/0! or e^(-2)=0.1353 \n" ); document.write( "1- that probability is 0.8647. \n" ); document.write( " |
