Exercise 1. Probability of cyan - generalized
In the edX exercises for this section, we calculated some probabilities by hand. Now we'll calculate those probabilities using R.
One ball will be drawn at random from a box containing: 3 cyan balls, 5 magenta balls, and 7 yellow balls.
What is the probability that the ball will be cyan?
