Solution :-

Given: A bag containing 6 red, 4 white and 8 blue balls.

By using the formula,

P (E) = \( \dfrac{favourable\; outcomes }{total\; possible\; outcomes}\)

Three balls are drawn so, we have to find the probability that one is red, one is white and one is blue.

Total number of outcomes for drawing 3 balls is 18C3

n (S) = 18C= 816

Let E be the event that one red, one white and one blue ball is drawn.

n (E) = 6C14C18C= 192

P (E) =\( \dfrac{ n (E) }{ n (S)}\)

\( \dfrac{192}{816}\)

\( \dfrac{4}{17}\)
