Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A permutation is an arrangement of outcomes whereas a combination is a grouping of outcomes.

Order matters in case of permutations but does not matter in combinations.

Given:

Number of red marbles = 3

Number of white marbles = 2

Number of green marbles = 1

To find: probability of picking 4 marbles and getting one of each color

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = 6_C__4 = \frac{6!}{4!\,2!}=\frac{6\times 5\times 4!}{4!\times 2}=15

Number of favourable outcomes = 2 red, 1 white and 1 green marble + 1 red, 2 white and 1 green marble = 3_C_2\,2_C_1\,1_C_1+3_C_1\,2_C_2\,1_C_1 = \frac{3!}{2!\,1!}\times \frac{2!}{1!\,1!}\times 1+\frac{3!}{2!\,1!}\times 1\times 1=6+3=9

So, probability of picking 4 marbles and getting one of each color = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes =\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6

ElenaW [278]
Rectangle:
P = 2 (L+W) but length is 2 meters longer than wide
then L = W + 2, So
P = 2 (L + W)
24 = 2(W+2+W)
24 = 2 (2 + 2W)
24 = 4 + 4W
So 4W = 24 -4 =20
W = 20/4= 5, L = 5+2= 7

Double check
24 = 2*(5+7) = 2 *12 = 24
