An urn contains 9 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 blue marbles marbles. A child randomly selects three (without replacement) from the urn. Find the probability all three marbles are the same color

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.

-----------------

-----------------

Combination formula:

is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

-----------------

The desired outcomes can be:

Thus:

-----------------

The total outcomes are 3 from a set of 9 + 6 + 8 = 23. Thus:

The probability is:

0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.

A similar problem is given at link

P(identical colours) =  160/1771   (0.0903 to four decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 9R, 6W and 8B marbles (total = 9+6+8 = 23)

Choose three without replacement.

Need probability three identical colours.

Use the multiplication rule.

P(RRR) = 9/23 * 8*22 * 7*21 = 12 / 253

P(WWW) = 6/23 * 5/22 * 4/21 = 20/1771

P(BBB) = 8/23 * 7/22 * 6/21 = 8/153

Probability of getting identical colours

= P(RRR)+P(WWW)+P(BBB)

= 160/1771   (0.0903 to four decimals)

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
