Final answer:
To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. For a) the probability of at least one blue ball is 1 - (3/6)^3, b) at least one green 1 - (4/6)^3, c) at least one blue or one green 1 - (2/6)^3, and d) at least one blue ball and one green ball 1 - (3/6)^3 - (4/6)^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the probability in each scenario, we need to use the concept of probability. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
a. To calculate the probability of at least one blue ball, we need to find the probability of not getting any blue ball and subtract it from 1. The probability of not getting a blue ball is (3/6)^3, so the probability of getting at least one blue ball is 1 - (3/6)^3.
b. To calculate the probability of at least one green ball, we can follow the same logic as in part a. The probability of not getting any green ball is (4/6)^3, so the probability of getting at least one green ball is 1 - (4/6)^3.
c. To calculate the probability of getting at least one blue or one green ball, we can calculate the probability of not getting any blue or green ball and subtract it from 1. The probability of not getting any blue or green ball is (2/6)^3, so the probability of getting at least one blue or one green ball is 1 - (2/6)^3.
d. To calculate the probability of getting at least one blue ball and one green ball, we need to calculate the probability of not getting any blue ball or not getting any green ball and subtract it from 1. The probability of not getting any blue ball is (3/6)^3 and the probability of not getting any green ball is (4/6)^3, so the probability of getting at least one blue ball and one green ball is 1 - (3/6)^3 - (4/6)^3.
