Answer:

if you mean what is he minimum number of balls you have to

pick to be sure of having 3 balls of the same colour your answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to say 3 balls it will be wrong because it is possible to pick all different colours and have only 1 of each colour, but we want 3 of he same colour

IFyou keep dealing with worst case scenario you wont ge 3 of the same colour until you pick 7

lets even try 6

1st pick = red ball

2nd pick = blue ball

3rd pick = white ball

4th pick = red ball

5th pick = blue ball

6th pick = white ball we still have just two of every colour

but if we picked a 7h colour it will either be red,blue or white because those are the only colours available bu no mater what we are sure of at least three of whatever colour we pick
