A bucket contains 6 green rubber balls, 4 red rubber balls, and 8 purple rubber balls. Alex removes 3 rubber balls, without replacement, from the bucket. What is the probability that Alex removes a green ball, red ball, and purple ball in that order?

Sagot :

in total there are 6,4,8 which equals 18 .There are 18 balls in total. but Alex removed 3 so now there are 15 balls. There 3 different colors and 15 balls. So there is a 5% out of 15 that you will get a certain color .To find the probability you need to calculate all the possible outcomes.

G=Green   R=Red    P=Purple

G,R,P

G,P,R

P,G,R

P,R,G

R,P,G,

R,G,P

There is 6 different outcomes, 15 balls and a 5% chance to get a certain color so if you want to exactly get G,R,P there is a (15 divided by 6) chance to get that order.

(I'm not good at calculating that part.)
