A gumball machine contains 350 grape flavored balls, 400 cherry flavored balls, and 550 lemon flavored balls. What is the probability of getting 1 grape ball, 1 cherry ball, and 1 lemon ball if each ball was removed and then replaced before choosing the next from the machine

Answer:

0.03505

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of gumballs = 350 + 400 + 550 = 1300

The probability of getting 1 grape ball = 350/1300

=  7/26

The probability of getting 1 cherry ball = 400/1300

= 4/13

The probability of getting 1 lemon ball = 550/1300

= 11/26

Therefore, the required probability :

= (7/26) × (4/13) × ( 11/26)

= 0.03505
