She has seen a bag containing three red marbles, three green ones, four white ones, and two purple ones. She grabs seven of them. Find the probability of the following event, expressing it as a fraction in lowest terms. HINT [See Example 1.] She has at least one green one.

The probability of there being no green marbles in the sample of 7 is given by:

P(0 green)=9C7/12C7 The probability of at least one green is: 1 - P(0 green) = you can calculate.
