use combinations probability = (desired combinations)/ total combinations total marbles = 24 total combinations = 24 C 6 \[P(3B) = \frac{5C3 * 19C3}{24C6}\] \[P(0R) = \frac{15C6}{24C6}\]
for parts b) and d) there are separate cases which involve adding probabilities
So the one you did was a?
3B = "3 are blue" 0R = "none are red"
OH! Okay, thank you! I'm not good at math at all. I really appreciate it!
part d) its impossible for all to be Blue since there are only 5 blue marbles so only consider All red OR All white \[P(6R or 6W) = \frac{19C6 + 10C6}{24C6}\]
part b) same num of each color means there must be 2 red, 2 white and 2 blue i was wrong about this one, its only a single case (no adding) \[P(2R2W2B) = \frac{19C2 * 10C2 *5C2}{24C6}\]
