Question

You and two friends visit a pizza shop. There are 15 toppings. 5 toppings are meat and the rest are vegetable. Each of you orders a different topping (no repeats) at random. What is the probability that your group orders only meat toppings? please can anyone help me with this problem. ill give a medal

Answer 1

hese are my choices.. A.1/10 B. 2/91 C. 3,003/10 D. 33/5

Answer 2

There are three people. You an your two friends. Each selects a topping, meaning that 3 toppings are selected out of 15.

This means there are 15 choose 3 possible orders that could happen.

Since there are only 5 meat toppings, there are only 5 choose 3 ways to order only meat toppings.

Thus the probability is it only meat would be 5C3 / 15C3
