1. **Problem:** A box contains 10 red, 20 blue, and 30 green marbles. 5 marbles are drawn. Find:
(i) Probability all 5 are blue.
(ii) Probability at least one is green.
2. **Formula and rules:**
- Total marbles = $10 + 20 + 30 = 60$.
- Number of ways to choose 5 marbles from 60: $\binom{60}{5}$.
- Probability of an event = $\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}$.
- For "at least one" problems, use complement rule: $P(\text{at least one green}) = 1 - P(\text{no green})$.
3. **Calculations:**
(i) All 5 blue:
- Number of blue marbles = 20.
- Favorable ways = $\binom{20}{5}$.
- Total ways = $\binom{60}{5}$.
- Probability = $\frac{\binom{20}{5}}{\binom{60}{5}}$.
Calculate values:
$\binom{20}{5} = \frac{20!}{5!15!} = 15504$.
$\binom{60}{5} = \frac{60!}{5!55!} = 5461512$.
So,
$$P(\text{all blue}) = \frac{15504}{5461512} \approx 0.00284.$$
(ii) At least one green:
- Number of green marbles = 30.
- No green means all 5 are chosen from red and blue only: $10 + 20 = 30$ marbles.
- Favorable ways for no green = $\binom{30}{5}$.
- Total ways = $\binom{60}{5}$.
Calculate $\binom{30}{5} = \frac{30!}{5!25!} = 142506$.
Probability no green:
$$P(\text{no green}) = \frac{142506}{5461512} \approx 0.0261.$$
Therefore,
$$P(\text{at least one green}) = 1 - 0.0261 = 0.9739.$$
