Answer

P(exactly 1 red)=9200+751000+121000

Steps

Step 1 :P(exactly 1 red)=P(RRW or WR or BR)

Step 2 :P(RRW)=P(R)2P(W)

Step 3 :P(WR)=P(W)2P(R)

Step 4 :P(BR)=(1P(W)P(R))2P(R)

Step 5 :P(RRW)=(310)2510

Step 6 :P(WR)=(510)2310

Step 7 :P(BR)=(1510310)2310

Step 8 :P(RRW)=(9100)12

Step 9 :P(WR)=(25100)310

Step 10 :P(BR)=(4100)310

Step 11 :P(RRW)=9200

Step 12 :P(WR)=751000

Step 13 :P(BR)=121000

Step 14 :P(exactly 1 red)=P(RRW)+P(WR)+P(BR)

Step 15 :P(exactly 1 red)=9200+751000+121000
