A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble. HINT (See Example 7.] How many sets of four marbles include none of the red ones?

Respuesta :

Answer:  35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble.

Total = 4+2+1+3+1=11

To find sets of four marbles include none of the red ones, we need to exclude red marbles when we count the total number of marbles.

Then, the total marbles(exclude red) =11-4=7

Now, the combination of 7 marbles taking 4 at a time is given by :-

[tex]^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!3!}=35[/tex]

Hence, the number of sets of four marbles include none of the red ones = 35
