Answer #1

There are total 25 marbles in the bag
5 marbles can be selected in 25C5 ways

a)
5 red marbles can be selected in 9C5 ways

P(all red marbles) = 9C5/25C5 = 126/53130
= 3/1265

b)
if no red marble is selected, this can be done in 16C5 ways

P(no red marbles selected) = 16C5/25C5
= 4368/53130
= 104/1265
