Question

A bag contains two red marbles, four green ones, one lavender one, four yellows, and six orange marbles. HINT [See Example 7.] How many sets of four marbles include one of each color other than lavender

Answer 1

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 15 marbles . When the lavender is left out 14 remain.

Using combinations we find that each of the four color marbles can be chosen in the following way.

2C1*4C1*4C1*6C1= 2*4*4*6=  192

We select  one of the two red marbles , one of the four green marbles, one of the four yellow marbles, one of the 6 orange marbles leaving the lavender out.. We apply combinations and then multiply to get the answer.
