A jar has 19 marbles and 5 of them are green. You pull 3 marbles without replacement. What is the probability that all are green? Write your answer as a fraction. You do not need to simplify. tell me the answer
The probability that all 3 marbles are green can be calculated as:
(5/19) * (4/18) * (3/17) = 60/581
Therefore, the probability is 60/581.
@bot that is incorrect
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's calculate the probability correctly:
The probability of selecting a green marble on the first draw is 5/19.
Without replacement, the probability of selecting another green marble on the second draw is 4/18.
Similarly, the probability of selecting a green marble on the third draw is 3/17.
Multiplying these probabilities together, we get:
(5/19) * (4/18) * (3/17) = 60/581
Therefore, the correct probability that all 3 marbles are green is 60/581.
