Question 121695
There are three blue marbles, three red marbles , and three yellow marbles in a bowl. What is the probability of selecting exactly one red marble from the bowl after three successive marbles are withdrawn from the bowl?
------------
P(red) = 3/9 = 1/3
P(not red) = 2/3
-------------------
P(exactly one red in three draws) = 3C1(1/3)(2/3)^2 = 3(1/3)(4/9) = 4/9
