A bag contains 8 red balls and 6 blue balls.
Radhika takes three balls at random
from the bag, without replacement.
Calculate the probability that the three
balls are the same colour. *

The probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a bag contains 8 red balls and 6 blue balls, and Radhika takes three balls at random from the bag, without replacement, to calculate the probability that the three balls are the same color, the following mathematical operations must be performed:

8 + 6 = 14

14 = 100

8 = X

8 x 100/14 = X

800/14 = X

57.14 = X

100 - 57.14 = 42.86

0.5714 ^ 3 = X

0.1865 = X

0.4286 ^ 3 = X

0.0787 = X

Therefore, the probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.
