Answer:
35
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Number of balls = 8
Red (R) = 6 ; 1 green(G) ; 1 BLUE (B)
Possibilities unt a blue ball is picked :
B, RB, GB, RRB, RGB, GRB, G
Draw 1 = B = 1
Draw 2 = B = 2C1 = 2
Draw 3 = B = 3C2 = 3
Draw 4 = B = 3C3 + 3C1 = 1 + 3 = 4
Draw 5 = B = 4C4 + 4C1 = 1 + 4 = 5
Draw 6 = B = 5C5 + 5C1 = 1 + 5 = 6
Draw 7 = B = 6C6 + 6C1 = 1 + 6 = 7
Draw 8 = B = 6C6 + 6C1 = 1 + 6 = 7
Taking the sum:
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 7) = 35
There are 35 elements in the sample space
