A box contains 3 orange balls, 3 green balls and 2 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the box without replacement. The probability of drawing 2 green balls and one blue ball is |
$\frac{3}{28}$ $\frac{2}{21}$ $\frac{1}{28}$ $\frac{167}{168}$ |
$\frac{3}{28}$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{3}{28}$ ## Let $G$ and $B$ represents green and blue balls respectively. $∴\text{Probability of drawing 2 green balls and one blue ball}$ $= P(G) \cdot P(G) \cdot P(B) + P(B) \cdot P(G) \cdot P(G) + P(G) \cdot P(B) \cdot P(G)$ $= \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{2}{6} + \frac{2}{8} \times \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{2}{6}$ $= \frac{1}{28} + \frac{1}{28} + \frac{1}{28} = \frac{3}{28}$ |
