Question

the distribution center receives shipments of a product from three different factories in the quantities of 50, 40, and 25 three times a product is selected at random, each time without replacement find the probability of (A) all three products came from the third factory (B) none of the three products came from the third factory

Answer 1

You have the chance of 1/3 that the first will be picked from the third. 1/3 second 1/3 for third.

1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/27

Answer 2

now it cant come from the third so 2/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 8/27

Answer 3

If you have trouble seeing how it can work, you can create a probability tree. Works great.

Answer 4

It's incomplete but you should get the idea

Answer 5

what is the probability that all three products came from the same factory? round to the nearest 1000

Answer 6

1/27 = 0.03703703703

Answer 7

Remember... when you're rounding in decimals, you start by tenth

Answer 8

So 0.037

Answer 9

where are you getting the 27? its 25 and it does not replace it

Answer 10

oh. i misread your entire question.

Answer 11

misread my question - thanks clown

Answer 12

I did try, I don't do mistakes on purpose. Perhaps a "Nice try" would be something more convenient.

Answer 13

have a feeling the question has a line (or part of a line) skipped.
Could you reread the question for typo?
The question sounds misleading, and may actually mean that all products are then mixed, and out of the whole batch, 3 items are picked.
Kindly check for missing information or typo.
