      A bag contains 3 black balls, 12 blue balls, and 3

      yellow balls. Two balls are drawn at random. Find the probability that the two balls are blue.

      B 4/17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 16/51 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Number of ways of selecting two blue balls = 12 Câ‚‚
      Total number of balls = 3 + 12 + 3 = 18

      Number of ways of selecting two balls = 18 Câ‚‚
      Probability = 12 C₂ ÷ 18 C₂ = (12 × 11) ÷ (18 × 17) = 132 ÷ 306 = 22/51
