K.H An urn contains 17 balls numbered 1 through 17.
The balls numbered from 1 to 8 are blue.
9 10 11 12 13
The balls numbered from 9 to 13 are green.
The balls numbered from 14 to 17 are red. 14 15 16 17

Three balls are randomly and simultaneously selected from the urn.

Consider the following events: A:”the three selected balls hold odd numbers”
B:”the three selected balls have the same color”
1) a) Calculate 𝑃 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃 𝐵 .

2) Knowing that the three balls selected are green, calculate the probability that exactly two of them hold even number.
