An EE student grabbed three resistors for an electrical circuit's lab. Those resistors are of distinct resistance values. The student randomly chooses two resistors and compared their resistances. The smallest value resistor from those two is selected. What is the probability that the selected resistor is also smaller than the value of the third one?
