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 an one blue ball is
A. `3/28`
B. `2/21`
C. `1/28`
D. `167/168`
Probability of drawing 2 green balls and one blue ball
`=P_(G)cdotP_(G)cdotP_(B)+P_(B)cdotP_(G)cdotP_(G)+P_(G)cdotP_(B)cdotP_(G)`
`=3/8cdot2/7cdot2/6+2/8cdot3/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot2/7cdot2/6`
`=1/28+1/28+1/28=3/28`
Probability of getting one red (R ) ball=`P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(barR)cdotP_(baR)cdotP_(R)`
`=5/8cdot3/72/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot5/7cdot2/6+3/8cdot2/7cdot5/6`
`15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)+15/(4cdot7cdot6)`
`=4/56+5/56+5/56=15/56`
Let `E_(1)`=Event that first ball being red
and `E_(2)`= Event that exactly tw of the three balls being red
`therefore P_(E_(1))=P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(R)cdotP_(barR)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(R)+P_(R)cdotP_(barR)cdotP_(barR)`
Correct Answer - A::B
Let the number of red and blue balls be r and b, respectively. Then, the probability of drawing two red balls is
`p_(1) = (.^(r )C_(2))/(.^(r+b)C_(2)) =...
Procedure of drawing th balls has to end at the rth draw. So, exactly two black balls are drawn in first (r-1) draws and third black ball is drawn in...
Correct Answer - C
In any trial P (getting white ball) = P (W) =1/2
P(getting black ball)`=P(B)=1//2`
Required event will occur if in the first six trial, 3 white balls...
Correct Answer - A
P (required)
= P (all are white) + P (all are red) + P (all are black)
`=1/6xx2/9xx3/12+3/6xx3/9xx4/12+2/6xx4/9xx2/12=6/648+36/648+40/648=82/648`
