\n" ); document.write( "He can't get 3 orange balls and 3 green balls if he chooses only 5 balls from the bag....

\n" ); document.write( "To set up the problem for solving, I will assume that he picked 6 balls from the bag instead of 5.

\n" ); document.write( "The possible outcomes are all the ways he can choose 6 of the 12 balls.

\n" ); document.write( "The good outcomes are the ways he can choose 3 of the 8 orange balls and 3 green balls.
\r\n" );
document.write( "                                       C(8,3) * C(4,3)\r\n" );
document.write( "  P(3 of 8 orange AND 3 of 4 green) = -----------------\r\n" );
document.write( "                                           C(12,6)

\n" ); document.write( "Use a calculator; and round the answer as directed....
