Question 870096: A standard 8-crayon box of Crayola crayons contains 1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow,
1 green, 1 blue, 1 purple, 1 brown, and 1 black crayon.
If 3 crayons are chosen from the box at random, what is the probability
that exactly 1 of them will be of a color that starts with the letter "b"?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3/8*5/7*4/6
3 start with b and 5 don't
after one letter b crayon is drawn there are 7 crayons 5 of which are not letter b
for the third draw there will be 4 out of 6 will not be letter b crayons
3/8*5/7*4/6
3/8*5/7*2/3
1/4*5/7=5/28
