A bag contains 9 tiles, each with a different number from 1 to 9. you choose a tile without looking, put it aside, choose a second tile without looking, put it aside, then choose a third tile without looking. what is the probability that you choose tiles with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in that order?

Respuesta :

The Probability that you choose tiles with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in that order is; 0.198 %

How to find probability of selection?

We are told that the bag contains 9 tiles labelled from number 1 to 9.

Now, this means that;

Probability of first tile being 1 = 1/9

Since there is no replacement after selection;

Probability of second tile being 2 = 1/8

Probability of third tile being 3 = 1/7

Thus;

Probability that you choose tiles with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 in that order is;

P(1, 2, 3 order) = (1/9) * (1/8) * (1/7)

P(1, 2, 3 order) = 1/504 = 0.198%
