Explanation of Solution
Given information:
There are 3 red, 5 yellow and 8 blue marbles in a bag.
Formula used:
If there are n objects taken r at a time then combination is defined as
Calculation:
Consider the provided information that there are 3 red, 5 yellow and 8 blue marbles in a bag
In order to select 2 red, 1 yellow and 2 blue marbles, use combination as selection does not matter.
Recall that if there are n objects taken r at a time then combination is defined as
Required number of ways are
Here n is 3 and r is 2for
Simplify it further as,
Thus, the number of different ways to select 2 red, 1 yellow and 2 blue marbles are
