A box contain 12 balls in which 4 are white 3 are blue and 5 are red.3 balls are drawn at random from the box. find the chance that all three are selected

3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we have the following information

Total number of balls = 12

White balls = 4

Blue balls = 3

Red balls = 5

We are to find the chance of probability that if we select 3 balls, all the three are selected.

Hence,

Probability ( all the three balls are selected) = P(White ball) × P(Blue ball) × P( Red ball)

Probability ( all the three balls are selected) = 4/12 × 3/11 × 5/10

= 60/1320

= 1/22

The number of ways by which we can selected all the three balls is a total of 6 ways:

WBR = White, Blue, Red

WRB = White, Red, Blue

RBW = Red, Blue, White

RWB = Red, White, Blue

BRW = Blue, Red, White

BWR = Blue, White, Red

Therefore, the chance that all three are selected :

1/22 × 6 ways = 6/22 = 3/11
