    E = 3/20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Number of blue disk = 3

    Number of green disk = 3

    Number of orange disk = 4

    Total number of disk = 3+3+34

    = 10

    Let B represent blue disk

    Let G represent green disk

    Let O represent orange disk

    If three disk are selected at random, the possible outcome of one green disk and two orange disks are

    OOG, OGO, GOO

    Pr (OOG) = Pr (O1) * Pr (O2) * Pr (G3)

    = 4/10 * 3/9 * 3/8

    = 36/720

    = 1/20

    Pr (OGO) = Pr (O1) * Pr (G2) * Pr (O3)

    = 4/10 * 3/9 * 3/8

    = 36/720

    = 1/20

    Pr (GOOG) = Pr (G1) * Pr (O2) * Pr (O3)

    = 4/10 * 4/9 * 3/8

    = 36/720

    = 1/20

    Pr (total) = Pr (OOG) + Pr (OGO) + Pr (GOO)

    = 1/20 + 1/20 + 1/20

    = 3/20
