Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from . The probability that their minimum is 3, given that their maximum is 6, is:
- A\frac{3}{8}
- B\frac{1}{5}
- C\frac{1}{4}
- D\frac{2}{5}
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let be the event that the maximum is 6.Let be the event that the minimum is 3.We want .Event : Maximum is 6. The other two numbers must be chosen from .Number of ways .Event : Maximum is 6 and minimum is 3.The set of numbers is . Here must be from .Number of ways .Required probability .
