In a bag of m&m's there are 5 brown 6 yellow 4 blue 3 green and 2 orange. What's the probability of getting 3 yellow m&m

olasank [31]

There are 5+6+4+3+2=20 m&m's in the bag.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 20:
$_{20} C _3=\frac{20!}{3!(20-3)!}=\frac{20!}{3! \times 17!}=\frac{17! \times 18 \times 19 \times 20}{6 \times 17!}=\frac{18 \times 19 \times 20}{6}=3 \times 19 \times 20= \\
=1140$

There are 6 yellow m&m's.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 6:
$_6 C _3 = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}=\frac{3! \times 4 \times 5 \times 6}{3! \times 6}=\frac{4 \times 5 \times 6}{6}=4 \times 5=20$

The probability is the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 6 m&m's divided by the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 20 m&m's.
$P=
\frac{20}{1140}=\frac{20 \div 20}{1140 \div 20}=\frac{1}{57}$

The probability is 1/57.
