A bag contains 10 red, 5 white and 8 blue balls. If three balls are picked out one at a time at random and not returned to the bag (i.e. without replacement). What is the probability that in the sample there will be one red ball, one white ball and one blue ball obtained in any order?

A bag contains 10 red, 5 white and 8 blue balls. If three balls are picked out one at a time at random and not returned to the bag (i.e. without replacement). What is the probability that in the sample there will be one red ball, one white ball and one blue ball obtained in any order?

Enter the numerical value of your answer only, giving your answer to 4 decimal places if needed. For example, if your answer was 0.3076923 this would be rounded to 0.3077. If your answer is an exact decimal number such as 0.32 you would just enter 0.32.

Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
