A bag contains 6 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 8 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 10th of a percent, that all three marbles drawn will be green?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total number of marbles = 18

Number of green marbles = 8

Number of ways to choose 3 green marbles = [tex]8C_3[/tex]

Number of ways to choose 3 marbles from the total 18 marbles= [tex]18C_3[/tex]

Probability 0f choose 3 green from 18 marbles

                                                                    = [tex]\frac{8C_3}{18C_3}[/tex]

                                                                    = 0.0686 = 6.9%
