A person draws 4 balls from the box at random.
A find the probability among the balls drawn there is at least one ball of each color
-------
Ans: 1 - P(no red or no white or no black)
---
= 1 - [P(no red)+P(no white)+P(no black)]
---
= 1 - [9C4 + 11C4 + 10C4]/15C4
---
= 1 - 666/1365
---
= 0.5121....
