first find the probability of all 3 blue eyes
= C(10,3) / C(27,3) = 120/2925 = 8/195
so prob(no blue eyes) = 1 - 8/195 = 187/195
The the odds in favour of all being blue eyes = (8/195) : 187/195
= 8 : 187
= C(10,3) / C(27,3) = 120/2925 = 8/195
so prob(no blue eyes) = 1 - 8/195 = 187/195
The the odds in favour of all being blue eyes = (8/195) : 187/195
= 8 : 187
