Question 1093097: There are 17 red coins, 19 purple coins, 4 blue coins, and 8 white coins in a box. Two coins are drawn out without replacement. What is the probability that at least one of them is red? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 48 coins.
probability none is red would be 1- probability (at least 1 is red)
(31/48)(30/47)=0.4122
1-0.4122=0.5878.
