Tony has a bucket filled with 10 green, 3 blue, 1 red,

and 7 yellow tennis balls. He removes 4 tennis balls from
the bucket, without replacement.
Which of the following outcomes could represent this
selection?
A. All of the tennis balls are blue.
B. There is 1 tennis ball of each color.
C. There are exactly 3 green tennis balls.
D. There are more red tennis balls removed than other
colors.
E. The number of red tennis balls is the same as the
number of blue tennis balls.

To answer this question, we need to consider the total number of tennis balls removed (4) and the available colors in the bucket (10 green, 3 blue, 1 red, and 7 yellow).

A. All of the tennis balls are blue: This outcome is not possible because there are only 3 blue tennis balls in the bucket, and we are removing 4 balls in total.

B. There is 1 tennis ball of each color: This outcome is not possible because there are only 3 blue tennis balls and 1 red tennis ball, so we cannot have 1 of each color.

C. There are exactly 3 green tennis balls: This outcome is possible since there are 10 green tennis balls in the bucket, and if we remove 3 of them, we would have exactly 3 green balls.

D. There are more red tennis balls removed than other colors: This outcome is not possible because there is only 1 red tennis ball in the bucket, and we are removing 4 balls in total.

E. The number of red tennis balls is the same as the number of blue tennis balls: This outcome is not possible because there are 3 blue tennis balls and only 1 red tennis ball, so the number of red balls cannot be the same as the number of blue balls.

Therefore, the only outcome that could represent this selection is option C: There are exactly 3 green tennis balls.
