12 marbles are selected at random form a large collection of white , red, green and yellow marbles . The number of marbles of each color is unlimited. Find the probability that the selection contains at least one marble of each color ?
Correct Answer:
D: 3391
Explanation:
12 marbles are selected at random form a large collection of white , red, green and yellow marbles . The number of marbles of each color is unlimited. Find the probability that the selection contains at least one marble of each color ? Correct Answer 3391 12 marbles are selected at random form a large collection of white , red, green and yellow marbles . The number of marbles of each color is unlimited. Find the probability that the selection contains at least one marble of each color ? This is same as W + R + G + Y = 12, where all are positive integers. Step I.. first, give one to each, hence 4 gone. Now you can distribute the remaining 8 to anyone as the restriction of at least one is done.. W + R + G + Y = 8..W + R + G + Y = 8.. Now, take this as 8 marbles and 3 partitions, so total 11 things. You can choose these 3 partitions in 11C3 ways = 11!/8!3! = 11∗10∗9/3∗2 = 11∗5∗3 Step II.. Total ways.. W + R + G + Y = 12 Now, take this as 12 marbles and 3 partitions, so total 15 things. You can choose these 3 partitions in 15C3 ways = 15!/12!3! = 15∗14∗13/3∗2 = 5∗7∗13 Probability = 11∗5∗3/5∗7∗13 = 33/91

Three balls are drawn at rand dom from the bag .The probability that all of them are red.is : Correct Answer 291 Let S be the sample space Then, n(S) = number of ways of drawing 3 balls out of 15 = 15C3 = (15 × 14 × 13)/(3 × 2 × 1) = 455 Let E = event of getting all the 3 red balls ∴n(E) = 5C3 = 5C2 = (5 × 4)/(2 × 1) = 10 ∴P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/455 = 291
Three houses are available in a locality. Three persons apply for the houses. Each applies for one house without consulting others. The probability that all the three apply for the same house is -
Correct Answer:
A: 1/9
Explanation:
Three houses are available in a locality. Three persons apply for the houses. Each applies for one house without consulting others. The probability that all the three apply for the same house is - Correct Answer 1/9 One person can select one house out of 3 = 3C1 ways = 3. Hence, three persons can select one house out of 3 in 3 x 3 x 3 = 9. Therefore, the probability that all three apply for the same house is 1/9.
Three dice are thrown together . Find the probability of getting a total of at least 6 ?
Correct Answer:
A: 103108
Explanation:
Three dice are thrown together . Find the probability of getting a total of at least 6 ? Correct Answer 103108 Number of events of getting a total of less than 6 (event of getting a total of 3, 4 or 5) = 10 i.e. (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1), (2, 1, 1) (1, 1, 3), (1, 3, 1), (3, 1, 1), (1, 2, 2), (2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1). Therefore, probability of getting a total of less than 6 Number of favorable outcomes P(E6) = Total number of possible outcome = 10/216 = 5/108 Therefore, probability of getting a total of at least 6 = 1 - P(getting a total of less than 6) = 1 - 5/108 = (108 - 5)/108 = 103/108 These examples will help us to solve different types of problems based on probability for rolling three dice.
