To find: the probability of the event.
Answer to Problem 52E
The probability of selected all three numbers are a factor of 8 is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A random number generator selects three numbers from 1 through 10.
All three numbers are factor of 8.
Calculation:
Consider the 1 to 10 numbers. Three numbers randomly selected from 1 to 10 numbers.
There are total 4 factors of 8, so probability of selecting one number is,
Since, the selection of all three numbers is independent events.
So, the probability that the selected three numbers are factor of 8 is product of individual probability of selecting one number,
Hence, the probability of selected all three numbers are a factor of 8 is
