<PRE><B>Question 138308</B>
a case of soda pop contains six bottles of root beer, six bottles of orange soda, seven bottles of cola, and five bottles of ginger ale. 
Find the probability that (a)one bottle is orange soda and two bottles are root beer.
-------------------
P(one orange and 2 root beer) = ?
# of ways to get one orange = 6
3 of ways to get two root beer = 6C2 = 15
--------------------------------------------
total # of was to get one orange and two root beer: 6*15 = 90
--------------------------------------------
# of ways topick three bottles of anything: 24C3= 2024
------------------------------------------------ 
P(one orange and 2 root beer) = 90/24C3 = 0.0445
