Answer:

The required probability is 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

red balls = 3

yellow balls =  2

blue balls = 5

Selected balls = 5

Number of elemnets in sample space = 10 C 5 = 1260

Ways to choose 1 red ball and 4 other colours =  (3 C 1 ) x (7 C 4) = 105

Ways to choose 5 balls of other colours = 7 C 5 = 21

So, the probability is
