Use the combinations formula to find the number of ways an item can be chosen `(r)` from the total number of items `(n)`.Remember that order is not important in Combinations.Combination Formula
$$ _\color{purple}{n}C_{\color{green}{r}}=\frac{\color{purple}{n}!}{(\color{purple}{n}-\color{green}{r})!\color{green}{r}!} $$First, find the ways that `2` Blue marbles can be drawn. There are `5` Blue marbles in the jar, which means:`r=2``n=5`$$_\color{purple}{n}C_{\color{green}{r}}$$ `=` $$ \frac{\color{purple}{n}!}{(\color{purple}{n}-\color{green}{r})!\color{green}{r}!} $$ Combination Formula $$_\color{purple}{5}C_{\color{green}{2}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{purple}{5}!}{(\color{purple}{5}-\color{green}{2})!\color{green}{2}!} $$ Substitute the values of `r` and `n` `=` $$ \frac{5!}{3! 2!}$$ `=` $$ \frac{5\cdot4\cdot\color{#CC0000}{3\cdot2\cdot1}}{\color{#CC0000}{3\cdot2\cdot1}\cdot2\cdot1}$$ `=` $$\frac{20}{2}$$ `=` $$10$$ Next, find the ways that `1` Red marble can be drawn. There are `3` Red marbles in the jar, which means:`r=1``n=3`$$_\color{purple}{n}C_{\color{green}{r}}$$ `=` $$ \frac{\color{purple}{n}!}{(\color{purple}{n}-\color{green}{r})!\color{green}{r}!} $$ Combination Formula $$_\color{purple}{3}C_{\color{green}{1}}$$ `=` $$\frac{\color{purple}{3}!}{(\color{purple}{3}-\color{green}{1})!\color{green}{1}!} $$ Substitute the values of `r` and `n` `=` $$ \frac{3!}{2! 1!} $$ `=` $$ \frac{3\cdot2!}{2!} $$ `=` `3` `(2!)/(2!)` cancels out Finally, multiply the two solved combinationsNumber of ways `2` Blue marbles can be drawn`=10`Number of ways `1` Red marble can be drawn `=3``10*3` `=` `30` Therefore, there are `30` ways of drawing `2` Blue marbles and `1` Red marble from the jar.`30` -
