$$\mathscr{PR}\mathrm{obability} \\ $$ An urn contains 3 red balls, 2 green balls and 1 yellow ball. Three balls are selected at random and without replacement from the urn. What is the probability that at least 1 color is not drawn? by : Bobhans\\n

Total of balls = 3+2+1 = 6   The number of ways of selecting 3 balls from  these 6 balls =  ((6),(3) ) = 20  The number of ways of selecting 1 ball of  each color =  ((3),(1) )× ((2),(1) )× ((1),(1) ) = 6  Therefore the probability of selecting 3 balls  of different color =p(A)=(6/(20)) = (3/(10))  so the probability that least 1 color   is not drawn is p(A^c ) =1−p(A)=(7/(10))
