A bag contains 8 red marbles, 6 blue marbles and 3 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, to the nearest 1000th, that all three marbles drawn will be blue?

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the first being blue is 6/17, the second is 5/16 and the third is 4/15.  Multiply these together to get the total probability:

 

6/17 x 5/16 x 4/15 = .029
