Answer :

The probability of selecting two purple shirts then a blue shirt is  28/323

Given, there are 12 blue shirts and 7 purple shirts in a drawer.

three shirts are randomly selected without replacement.

the probability of selecting two purple shirts then a blue shirt is,

(C(7 , 2) × C(12 , 1))/C(19 , 3) = ((7×6)/2 × 12)/(19×18×17)/6

= (7×6×6)/(19×3×17)

= 84/969

= 28/323

Hence, the probability of selecting two purple shirts then a blue shirt is  28/323
