Solution by Steps
step 1
The probability of selecting a red bead is given by P(R)=715 P(R) = \frac{7}{15} and for a blue or green bead is P(BG)=3+515=815 P(B \cup G) = \frac{3 + 5}{15} = \frac{8}{15}
step 2
The probability of the first two beads being red and the third being blue or green is calculated as: P(R,R,BG)=P(R)×P(R)×P(BG)=(715)×(715)×(815)=3923375 P(R, R, B \cup G) = P(R) \times P(R) \times P(B \cup G) = \left(\frac{7}{15}\right) \times \left(\frac{7}{15}\right) \times \left(\frac{8}{15}\right) = \frac{392}{3375}
step 3
For part b, the probability of choosing one red, one blue, and one green bead can be calculated using combinations. The total arrangements are 3!=6 3! = 6 and the probability is P(R)×P(B)×P(G)=715×315×515 P(R) \times P(B) \times P(G) = \frac{7}{15} \times \frac{3}{15} \times \frac{5}{15} . Thus, the total probability is 6×(715×315×515)=6303375=42225 6 \times \left(\frac{7}{15} \times \frac{3}{15} \times \frac{5}{15}\right) = \frac{630}{3375} = \frac{42}{225}
Answer
Part a: 3923375 \frac{392}{3375} , Part b: 42225 \frac{42}{225}
Key Concept
Probability of independent events and combinations in probability.
Explanation
The calculations show how to find the probability of specific outcomes when selecting beads, using the principles of probability and combinations.
