Question

A bag contains 3 red marbles, 6 blue marbles and 8 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 1000th, that all three marbles drawn will be green?

Answer 1

8.236%

Explanation:

P(G,G,G) = 8/17 x 7/16 x 6/15

= 7/85 (simplified)

7/85, in decimal form, is .082352

.082352 in percent form is 8.236%
