    Probability that at least 1 item is selected
    Ok, I do not know if I am doing this right or not. I am coming up with a different number then what one of the answers are. Can anyone help please?

    Suppose you are going to draw 2 jellyfish, without replacement, from a tank that contains 5 mushroom jellyfish and 3 cannonball jellyfish. Find the probability that at lease 1 cannonball jellyfish will be selected.

    I thought you woud do it this way, but I am not sure?

    Total of jellyfish: 8

    mushroom would stay at 5/8. ( think)

    Cannonball would be subtracted by 1 -----2/8+1/8=3/8

    5/8*3/8=15/64= 15/64 -----but this answer is not any the teacher gives.

    The key here is that it says find the probability that at least 1 cannonball jellyfish will be selected. Notice the 'at least'. So you have to find the probability of selecting 1 or 2 cannonball jellyfish.
