P(blue, orange, white)

Postby nycmath » Thu Sep 10, 2026 10:44 am

A gum ball machine contains gum balls of five different colors: 36 red, 44 white, 15 blue, 20 green, and 5 orange. The machine dispenser randomly selects one gum ball. What is the probability that the gum ball selected is blue followed by orange followed by white?

@ Eigenvalue:

Leave some for others to do. Don't burn yourself out. It's not worth it.
