Chapter 12.4, Problem 24PPS
To determine

The probability of Delsin’s wins.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 24PPS

The required probability is 0.0286.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

In the race of the seven horses, Delsin randomly chooses three horses to place first through third.

The total number of the horses are 7 and the number of ways for selecting 3 horses out of the 7 horses are given as:

  C(7,3)=7!3!4!=35

From these, only one combination is corresponds to the win, hence, required probability is evaluated as:

  P(winning)=135=0.0286

Therefore, the required probability is 0.0286.
