Probability = ways you want ÷ all ways
P = C(pool₁, want₁) × C(pool₂, want₂) ÷ C(total, picked); the 'want' numbers add up to the number picked.
- Total ways: C(total, picked). TVs: C(10,3) = 120.
- Wanted ways: one C per pool, multiplied.
- Check: all cases add to the total (8 + 56 + 56 = 120).
- Identical items (socks) still count as separate objects: red pair 55/171.
