    Probability of Drawing Same Color Balls from a Bag

    so, you are saying that my initial formula only calculates the probability that balls of the same color as the first ball picked can win?

    Probability of Drawing Same Color Balls from a Bag

    P(Y=y)=(((9)C(y-1)×(40)C(x-y))/(49)C(x-1)) Does this formula not suffice? I used hypergeometric d, but ignored the first draw. The maximum number of balls that are of the same color is 10 :/

    Probability of Drawing Same Color Balls from a Bag

    well i figured it needs hypergeometric distribution :S not too sure how to deal with the fact that the same colored balls can be any of the 5 colors...

    Probability of Drawing Same Color Balls from a Bag

    A bag contains a total of 50 balls (10 red, 10 blue, 10 green, 10 black, 10 white). If I draw x balls from the bag, what is the probability that the largest number of balls that are the same color is y? For example, if I draw 7 balls, and I get 4 Blue, 2 Green, 1 Red, y=4 It'd be nice if you...
