A bag contains 5 red,4 green and 3 black balls.if three balls are drawan out of it at randam,find the probability of drawing exactly 2 red balls.
a> 7/22 b.10/33 c. 7/12 d. 7/11
Read Solution (Total 15)
-
- we have to select 2 red balls out of 5 and 1 green from 4 or 2 red balls and 1 black ball
total combination = 5C2*4C1 + 5C2 *3C1 = 70
total possibility = 12C3 = 220
probability = 70/220 = 7/22 -> option a - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(29) No(2)
- required probability=(5C2*7C1)/(12C3)
=7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(1)
- Out of 5 red balls exactly 2 red balls are drawn. Hence the remaining I ball must drawn from 7 balls(4 green & 3 black).
5C2x7C1/12C3 = 70/220 = 7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- 7/22
coz 5c2*7c1/12c3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- option a
s=5+4+3=12
p(s)=12C3=220
p(E)=5C2*4C1*3C0+5C2*4C0*3C1
=40+30=70
p(E)/p(S)=7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- total possible events =12C3=220
favourable events = 5C2*7C1=70
probability=70/220 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ((5C2)*(7C1))/12C3 = 7/22
So option a - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- total number of balls 5+4+3 = 12, out of 12 balls 3 balls are drawn
so n(s) = 12C3 = 110
exactly 2 red balls so 5C2 = 10
out of 3 two are red remaining one is in 4+3 = 7,so 7C1 = 7
10*7 = 10;
therefor probablity is 70/110 =7/11 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- Since there are 5 red balls and (4+3)other ball,so
no.of possibilities =5C2*7C1/12C3
=7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- a>7/22
5c2*7c1/12c3=7/22
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- selecting 3 balls from 12 is 12c3 ways= 220
select 2 red balls out of 5 and ehither 1 ball from green or 1 ball from black is 5c2*4c1 + 5c2*3c1=70
so, Total possibility is 70/220= 7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ((5C2*4C1)+(5C2*3C1))/12C3
(40+30)/220=70/220=7/22 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (5c2*7c1)/12c3=7/22
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 7/22 = 5C2 * 7C1 / 12C3
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- probability will be=5C2*(4C1+3C1)/12C3=70/220=7/22
option (a) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
