\n" ); document.write( "The number of ways of choosing 6 of the 11 bulbs is \"11 choose 6\" = C(11,6) = 462.

\n" ); document.write( "There is only one way (that is, C(6,6)) of choosing all 6 of the bulbs that will produce yellow flowers.

\n" ); document.write( "So the probability of having all yellow flowers is 1/462 = .0021645 (to several decimal places).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
