Question

Lincoln High School has 78 seniors, 116 juniors, 119 sophomores, and 107 freshmen. Three student names are chosen randomly without replacement. What is the probability of, without replacement, a senior being chosen first, followed by a sophomore, and followed by a junior?

Answer 1

11/320

Explanation:

the probability of a senior being chose first is 22 (seniors) divided my total number of students (80) is .275 percent.

multiplied by the probability of a sophomore being chosen 10/80 which equals .125.

multiply those together and you get your probability. 0.034375 or 11/320
