<PRE><B>Question 614741</B>
In a candy dish there are 6 purple candies and 8 blue candies. If 3 candies are randomly chosen from the dish, what is the probability of choosing exactly 2 purple candies?
---
Ans without replacement and assuming you mean exactly 2 purple: 
# of ways to succeed: 6C2*8 = 15*8 = 120
# of random sets of 3: 14C3 = 364
Ans: 120/364 = 0.3297
