Question 497681
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You have described a collection of marbles that total 16.  Then you say 2 green and 3 white.  If you mean that 2 of the 16 marbles are green, 3 of them are white, and 11 of them are some other color, then what is the without replacement draw for which you want to calculate the probability?


On the other hand, if you want the probability of drawing 2 green and 3 white from a collection of 16 without replacement, then you need to describe the numbers of the various colors that make up the 16 in the container.


And do take the time to proofread your post before sending it.  We only have the written word with which to communicate, hence the niceties of spelling, grammar, and punctuation are essential for this system to work.
