<u>Answer-</u>
a. Probability that three of the candies are white = 0.29
b. Probability that three are white, 2 are tan, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, and 2 are green = 0.006
<u>Solution-</u>
There are 19 white candies, out off which we have to choose 3.
The number of ways we can do the same process =
![\binom{19}{3} = \frac{19!}{3!16!} = 969](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbinom%7B19%7D%7B3%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B19%21%7D%7B3%2116%21%7D%20%3D%20969)
As we have to draw total of 9 candies, after 3 white candies we left with 9-3 = 6, candies. And those 6 candies have to be selected from 52-19 = 33 candies, (as we are drawing candies other than white, so it is subtracted)
And this process can be done in,
![\binom{33}{6} = \frac{33!}{6!27!} =1107568](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbinom%7B33%7D%7B6%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B33%21%7D%7B6%2127%21%7D%20%3D1107568)
So total number of selection = (969)×(1107568) = 1073233392
Drawing 9 candies out of 52 candies,
![\binom{52}{9} = \frac{52!}{9!43!} = 3679075400](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbinom%7B52%7D%7B9%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B52%21%7D%7B9%2143%21%7D%20%3D%203679075400)
∴P(3 white candies) = ![\frac{1073233392}{3679075400} =0.29](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1073233392%7D%7B3679075400%7D%20%3D0.29)
Total number of ways of selecting 3 whites, 2 are tans, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, and 2 are greens is,
![\binom{19}{3} \binom{10}{2} \binom{7}{1} \binom{5}{1} \binom{6}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbinom%7B19%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Cbinom%7B10%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Cbinom%7B7%7D%7B1%7D%20%5Cbinom%7B5%7D%7B1%7D%20%5Cbinom%7B6%7D%7B2%7D)
![=(\frac{19!}{3!16!}) (\frac{10!}{2!8!}) (\frac{7!}{1!6}) (\frac{5!}{1!4!}) (\frac{6!}{2!4!})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%28%5Cfrac%7B19%21%7D%7B3%2116%21%7D%29%20%28%5Cfrac%7B10%21%7D%7B2%218%21%7D%29%20%28%5Cfrac%7B7%21%7D%7B1%216%7D%29%20%28%5Cfrac%7B5%21%7D%7B1%214%21%7D%29%20%28%5Cfrac%7B6%21%7D%7B2%214%21%7D%29)
![=(969)(45)(7)(5)(15)=22892625](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%28969%29%2845%29%287%29%285%29%2815%29%3D22892625)
Total number of selection = 3 whites + 2 are tans + 1 is pink + 1 is yellow + 2 greens = 9 candies out of 52 candies is,
![\binom{52}{9}=\frac{52!}{9!43!} =3679075400](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbinom%7B52%7D%7B9%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B52%21%7D%7B9%2143%21%7D%20%3D3679075400)
∴ P( 3 whites, 2 are tans, 1 is pink, 1 is yellow, 2 greens) =
![\frac{22892625}{3679075400} = 0.006](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B22892625%7D%7B3679075400%7D%20%3D%200.006)
