Answer:

\frac{5}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of cups of tea offered = 3

Number of cups marked = 9

Number of cups tasted by each = 4

Now,

The probability that a contestant does not taste all of the samples

= contestant tastes only 2 samples of tea

= \frac{C_3^2\timesC_6^4}{C_9^4}

C₆⁴ = number of ways to choose 4 cups out of 6 cups of two samples

C₃² = number of ways to choose which 2 samples will be tasted

[ as 2 samples × 3 cups each = 6 cups ]

C₉⁴ = Number of ways to choose 4 cups out of 9

= \frac{5}{14}

Hence,

the correct answer is option (B) 5/14
