Hi
131 Passengers: 74(2). 48(1) AND 9(0) CARRYONS
randomly select 3 passengers
Find the probability that:
A. All 3 have one carry on = 48C3/134C3
B. 1 had one carry on, and 2 have two carryons = 74C2)(48C1)/(134C3)
C.1 has one carry on, 1 had two carry ons and 1 has no carry on.
 (74C1)(48C1)(9C1)/(134C3)
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
