i would say A? i dont know, but that seems right to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is c but I am lost as to how that is right. (teacher gave us the answer but even he didn't know how to do it… )

So, he needs to fail in his first 3 attempts
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok so 3/7?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes,
what about the probability for failing in second attempt ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
keepin mind, you're not replacing the tiles
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/7
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you're picking the tile,
looking at it. and throwing it aside

multiply them, what do u get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do I do 3/7 x 2/6 x 1/5
or
3/7 x ⅓ x 1/5 ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
And probability for succeeding in 4th attempt is 1 cuz there are no bad tails remaining.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
So the required probability is :
3/7 x 2/6 x 1/5 x 1
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
simplify
