Probability that at least one blue ball is drawn = 1 - Probability that all the balls drawn are red. 

=1-13.12.35=1-110=910=0.9 

Probability that exactly one blue ball is drawn =13.12.25+23.14.25+13.24.25=0.2

Probability that all drawn balls are red given that all the drawn balls of the same colour 

=110110+410=15=0.2

Probability that at least one red ball is drawn =1-23.34.45=0.6
