Question 1151587: A gardener wishes to landscape a piece property by planting flowers across the front and back
of the house. From a box containing 3 tulip bulbs, 4 daffodil bulbs, 3 hyacinth bulbs he selects
at random to be planted at the front of the house, and the remaining 5 are planted at the rear
of the house. What is the probability that 1 tulip plant, 2 daffodil plants, and 2 hyacinth plants
bloom at the front of the house?

Please pay attention on how nicely I edited your post to make sense where it was lost (!)
It is very standard problem on combinations.
The number of all favorable combinations is  . . = 3*6*3 = 54.
The number of all possible sets of 5 flowers randomly selected from 10 flowers is
 =  = 252.
Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is P =  =  =  . ANSWER
Solved.
