S = {RRB, RRG, RBR, RBG, RGR, RGB, RGG, GGB, GGR, GBG, GBR, GRG, GRB, GRR, BGG, BRR, BRG, BGR} Total choices = 5C3 = 10. Out of this red ball 1 and red ball two are indistinguishable. Similarly green ball 1 and green ball 2 are indistinguishable. So total of four possibilities are...

Similarly green ball 1 and green ball 2 are indistinguishable. So total of four possibilities are removed [2*2!]. We are left with 6 possibilities. As sequence is important...there are 3 places. 3*6= total 18 possibilities. read less

For the First ball sample space is 5,for the second ball the sample space 4,for the third ball the sample space is 3.

Sample space is set of all possible outcomes. if R,G,B corresponds to red green blue balls sample space = { (R,R,B),(R,B,R),(B,R,R), (G,G,B),(G,B,G),(B,G,G), (R,R,G),(R,G,R),(G,R,R), (G,G,R),(G,R,G),(R,G,G), (R,G,B),(R,B,G),(G,B,R) }.
