What is the counting principle in fundamental counting techniques?

• The counting principle states that if there are m ways to do one thing and n ways to do another, then there are m - n ways to do both things together.

• The counting principle states that if there are m ways to do one thing and n ways to do another, then there are m + n ways to do both things together.

• The counting principle states that if there are m ways to do one thing and n ways to do another, then there are m / n ways to do both things together.

• The counting principle states that if there are m ways to do one thing and n ways to do another, then there are m * n ways to do both things together.

What is the probability of drawing 2 red balls and 1 blue ball from a bag containing 5 red balls and 3 blue balls?

• The probability is (5C2 * 3C1) / 8C3 = (10 * 3) / 56 = 30/56 = 5/28

• The probability is (5C2 * 3C1) / 8C3 = (10 * 3) / 56 = 30/56 = 15/28

• The probability is (5C2 * 3C1) / 8C3 = (10 * 3) / 56 = 30/56 = 1/28

• The probability is (5C2 * 3C1) / 8C3 = (10 * 3) / 56 = 30/56 = 15/28 + 1
