4. A gumball dispenser has 37 orange gumballs, 31 purple ones, and 15 yellow ones. The dispenser operates such that one quarter delivers 1 gumball. (a) Using three quarters, what is the probability of obtaining 3 gumballs in the order orange, purple, orange? (b) Using one quarter, what is the probability of obtaining 1 gumball that is either purple or yellow? (c) Using three quarters, what is the probability that of the 3 gumballs obtained, exactly 1 will be purple and 1 will be yellow?
