Find the probability that, 3 are red and at least 2 are white Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 14C6 = 3003 combinations of 14 balls taken 6 at a time.
4C3 * 5C3 = 40 frequency of exactly 3 red and 3 white.
4C3 * 5C2 * 5C1 = 200 frequency of exactly 3 red and 2 white and 1 is black.
240/3003=.0799
