Answer :

Answer:

Combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that marbles are drawn without replacement from a bag containing 14 marbles

Since it is without replacement and also order does not matter, we find that only combinations can be used here.

a) 4 marbles can be drawn from total 14 marbles in[tex]14C4 = 1001[/tex]

b) 2 marbles can be drawn in [tex]14C2 = 91[/tex]

c) If 4 yellow, 2 white and 8 blue, 3 blue marbles can be drawn in

[tex]8C3 =56[/tex]

This problem involves combinations.
