Question 1064205: If five balls are drawn from a bag containing six green balls, eight blue balls, and ten black balls, what is the probability that:
a. three green and two blue balls are drawn?
b. at least four black balls are drawn?
c. five black balls or five blue balls are drawn?
d. at least three blue balls are drawn? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 24 balls and choosing 5; the denominator is 24C5
a. The numerator is 6C3*8C2=15*28=420. The denominator is 42,504, probability is 0.01
b. The numerator is 10C4*14C1+10C5=2940+252=3192; the probability is 0.075
c. The numerator is 10C5 + 8C5=252+56=308; the probability is 0.007
d. 8C3*16C2+8C4*16+8C5=56*120+70*16+56=6720+1120+56=7896 numerator: probability is 0.186
