The no. of ways to select the 3 blue balls and 5 orange balls from the urn is 0.424

No. of Blue balls in the urn = 5

No. of Orange balls in the urn = 7

Total no. of balls in the urn = No. of blue balls + No. of orange balls

                                             = 5 + 7

                                            = 12 balls

No. of blue balls to be selected = 3

No. of orange balls to be selected = 5

No. of balls to be selected = 8

The total. no of ways 8 balls can be selected = 12C₈

The No. of ways 3 blue balls can be selected = 5C₃

The No. of ways 5 orange balls can be selected = 7C₅

Therefore, No. of ways to select 3 blue balls and 5 orange balls from the urn

                       =  5C₃ x  7C₅ / 12C₈

[ Probability = No. of ways to select blue balls x No. of ways to select orange balls / Total no. of ways to select balls]

               

                P = 10 x 21 / 495

                   = 210 / 495

                P = 0.424

Therefore,  the no. of ways to select blue and orange balls is 0.424

<h3>Answer:  75.36 square feet</h3>

Your teacher may want you to type the number only.

==========================================================

Work Shown:

SA = surface area of a cylinder

SA = 2*pi*r^2 + 2*pi*r*h

SA = 2*3.14*2^2 + 2*3.14*2*4

SA = 75.36

The surface area is roughly 75.36 square feet.
