A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If three marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are all blue ?

A. 4/455
B. 34
C. 2/455
D. 1/455

Explanation:

Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.

Probability that all the three marbles picked at random are blue = ³C₃/¹⁵C₃ = (1 * 3 * 2 * 1)/(15 * 14 * 13) = 1/455
