Hello there,
I am working on this problem and cant figure out if i am on the right track or not.
A game involves picking up to 4 tiles out of a bag that contains 20 tiles. The bag contains 4 tiles with the number 1 printed on them, 6 with 2 on them, 3 with 3 on them and 7 with the number 4 printed on them.
You pick the tiles one at at time. If the 1st tile you choose has a 1 on it then you win. If the 2nd tile has a 2 then you win and similarly for the remaining choices. After each choice, the tile you picked isn't returned to the bag.
What is the probability of winning this game?
So far for working I have started to do a tree diagram but then noticed it started to get messy. Cause there is 20 tiles I have 20C4 for tile 1, 20C6, 20C3, 20C7
Thank you!
