There are 12 balloons in a bag: 3 each of blue, green, red, and yellow. Three balloons are chosen at random. Find the probability that all 3 of the balloons are green,

Question

Thank you so much for the help.

Answer 1

To start out, what is the probability that the first balloon is green?

Answer 2

1/4

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct. What is the probability that the second balloon is also green?

Answer 4

I think 2/11 but I am not sure 🤔

Answer 5

also correct

Answer 6

And then 1/10

Answer 7

Yep, so then you can just multiply your three probabilities together, since they all need to be true to satisfy your original condition of three green balloons, and then you have your answer.

Nice going on this, btw.

Answer 8

Thank you so much.
