Ways of selection of two blue marbles = 4C2
Ways of selection of one yellow marble = 3C1
Ways of selection of three marbles = 15C3
So, required probability = (4C2 x 3C1) / (15C3)
= [4!/{2! (4 - 2)!} x 3!/{1! (3 - 1)!}] / [15! / {3! (15 - 3)!}]
= [(4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / (2 x 1 x 2 x 1)] x [(3 x 2 x 1) / (1 x 2 x 1)] / [ (15 x 14 x 13 x 12!) / (3 x 2 x 12!)]
= (6 x 3) / (5 x 7 x 13)
= 18 / 455
Probability that none is blue from four marbles
= 15 - 4C4 / 15C4
= 11C4 / 15C4 = 22/91
So, probability that at least one is blue from four marbles = 1 - 22/91 = 69/91
Ways of selection of two green marbles = 2C2 = 1
Ways of selection of two yellow marbles = 3C2 = 3
So, probability (both are green) = 1/15C2 ....(I)
Probability (both are yellow) = 3/15C2 ....(Ii)
Then, required probability = 1/15C2 + 3/15C2 = 4/ 15C2
= 4/105
Ways of selection of 4 marbles = n(S) = 15C4
Ways of selection of one green marbles = n(E1) = 2C1
Ways of selection of two blue marbles = n(E2)=4C2
Ways of selection of one red marble = n(E3) = 6C1
? Required probability = (2C1 x 4C2 x 6C1) / (15C4) = 24/455
Total number of caps = 2 + 4 + 5 + 1 = 12
Total number of outcomes = n(S) = 12 C2 = 66
Favorable number of outcomes = n(E) = 2C2 = 1
? Required probability = 1/66
Total number of caps = 12
Total number of result = n(S) = 12C4 = 495
Out of 5 caps, number of ways to not pick a green cap = n(E1) = 5C0 = 1
and out of 7 caps, number of ways to pic 4 caps = n(E) = 7C4 = 35
? Required probability = (1 x 35)/495 = 7/99
Total number of caps = 12
? n(S) = 12C3 = 220
n(E1) = Out of 4 red caps, number of ways to pick 2 caps = 4C2 = 6
n(E2) = Out of 5 green caps
Number of ways to pick one cap = 5C1 = 5
P(E) = n(E1) x n(E2)/n(S) = (6 x 5)/220 = 3/22
Required probability = 1 - 8C2/ 12C2
= 1 - 28/66 = 38/66 = 19/33
Total number of possible outcomes
= n(S) = 12C2 = (12 x 11)/2 = 66
Total number of favorable events
= n(E) = 4C2
= (4 x 3) / (2 x 1) = 6
? Required probability = 6/66 = 1/11
Total Number of outcomes = 10C3 = 120
Number of outcomes not containing red balls = 5C3 = 10
? Probability that at least one is red = 1 - 10/120 = 11/12
