A bag contains a collection of distinguishable marbles. The bag has two red marbles, three green ones, one lavender one, two yellows, and two orange marbles. HINT [See Example 7.] How many sets of four marbles include exactly two green marbles

Respuesta :

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

The bag has two red marbles,  n(red) =2

three green ones marbles,  n(green) = 3

one lavender one marbles,  n(lavender) = 1

two yellows marbles,            n(yellow ) = 2

two orange marbles.              n(orange) = 2

number of non green marbles = 2+1+2+2 = 7

The objective is to find out how many sets of four marbles include exactly two green marbles

Since sets of four marbles contain exactly two green marbles, then N(select 2 from 3 marbles and 2 from 7 marbles)

= [tex]^3C_2 \times ^{7}C _2[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} \times \dfrac{7!}{2!(7-2)!}[/tex]

= [tex]\dfrac{3*2!}{2!} \times \dfrac{7*6*5!}{2!(5)!}[/tex]

=  [tex]3 \times 7\times 3[/tex]

= 63
