<PRE><B>Question 581549</B>
A box contains 11 red balls, 9 green balls, and 9 black balls. A sample of 9 is to be picked from the box. 
(a) How many samples contain at least 1 red ball?
Total number of samples: 29C9
Total number with no red: 18C9
Number with at least 1 red: 29C9-18C9 = 9966385 samples
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
(b) How many samples contain exactly 4 red balls and exactly 3 black balls?
11C4 * 9C3 * 9C2 = 997920 samples 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) How many samples contain exactly 5 green balls or exactly 3 black balls?
9C5 * 9C3 * 11C1 = 116424
