A bag contains 4 red marbles, 4 black marbles, 4 orange marbles, 3 blue marbles, 2 pink marbles, and 5 green marbles. If 4 marbles are selected, what is the probability of picking 4 red marbles?


There are \(\displaystyle C(22,4)=7315\) to select 4 marbles. There are \(\displaystyle 1\) ways to select 4 red from 4 red. This gives the probability \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{7315}\)
