five balls are randomly chosen, without replacement, from an urn that contains 5 red, 6 white, and 7 blue balls. find the probability that at least one ball of each color is chosen.



Answer :

The probability that at least one ball of each color is chosen is 105/8568.

Given that:-

Number of red balls in the urn = 5

Number of white balls in the urn = 6

Number of blue balls in the urn = 7

We have to find the probability that at least one ball of each color is chosen.

Let us consider the that 1 ball of each color has been chosen.

Hence, we are left with 4 red balls, 5 white balls and 6 blue balls.

Now we have to choose 2 balls from them.

Hence,

Number of ways in which we can choose 2 balls from (4+5+6) that is 15 balls = [tex]^{15}C_2=105[/tex]

Total number of ways in which we can choose 5 balls from 18 balls =

[tex]^{18}C_5=8568[/tex]

Hence,

Probability that at least one ball of each color is chosen = 105/8568
