# A bag contains 3 red marbles and 5 green marbles. If 3 marbles are drawn at random [closed]

A bag contains 3 red marbles and 5 green marbles. If 3 marbles are drawn at random, what is the probability that more green marbles were drawn than red?

Do I have to use factorials with this?

Supa, because you vandalized your post (by replacing it with "blah..." and "delete...") I am going to lock it for one day. This will prevent you or anyone else from editing it, though it has the additional effect of preventing any new answers for that day as well. Do not vandalize your posts again, or you will be suspended. –  Zev Chonoles Jan 7 '13 at 23:05
Hint: To get a majority green marbles, you must have either $2$ or $3$. Calculate the probability of each of these, and they are mutually exclusive, so you can add them.
@Supa: that would make the probability greater than 1, which cannot be true. The chance to get $3$ green is $\frac 58 \cdot \frac 47 \cdot \frac 36=\frac {60}{336}$. Each fraction is the chance to get a green marble with the bag holding what is left at that point. –  Ross Millikan Jan 7 '13 at 21:03
