Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{54}{5405}.

Step-by-step explanation:

How many unique combinations are possible in total?

This question takes 5 objects randomly out of a bag of 50 objects. The order in which these objects come out doesn't matter. Therefore, the number of unique choices possible will the sames as the combination

\displaystyle \left(50\atop 5\right) = 2,118,760.

How many out of that 2,118,760 combinations will satisfy the request?

Number of ways to choose 2 red candies out a batch of 28:

\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) = 378.

Number of ways to choose 3 green candies out of a batch of 8:

\displaystyle \left(8\atop 3\right)=56.

However, choosing two red candies out of a batch of 28 red candies does not influence the number of ways of choosing three green candies out of a batch of 8 green candies. The number of ways of choosing 2 red candies and 3 green candies will be the product of the two numbers of ways of choosing

\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) \cdot \left(8\atop 3\right) = 378\times 56 = 21,168.

The probability that the 5 candies chosen out of the 50 contain 2 red and 3 green will be:

\displaystyle \frac{21,168}{2,118,760} = \frac{54}{5405}.

morpeh [17]
First you would find that not all the units are the same in this problem, so you convert yards to feet. So 4 yards = 12 feet.

The proportion you would make would be x/12 = 2/1
