Q45 of 249 Page 31

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

A bag contains 5 red and 3 blue balls. If 3 balls are selected drawn at random without replacement, then the probability of getting exactly one red ball is


Total Red Balls = 5


Total Blue Balls = 3


M = Event getting Red ball



N = Event getting Blue ball



Now,


P(Getting Exactly one red ball) = P(RBB) + P(BRB) + P(BBR)
