Answer 2

probability ( diet sprite & water & water) = 4/40 * 10/39 * 9/38

Answer 3

thanks, now I understand

Answer 4

There are 40 drinks to choose from, and 4 diet sprites. So the probability of choosing a diet sprite first is 4/40. If a diet sprite is selected first, the probability of choosing a water next is 10/39, and the probability of then choosing another water is 9/38. You just need to multiply theses 3 values of probability together to find the required probability.

Answer 6

thanks, kropot, you deserve this medal for your detailed explanations, thanks once again buddy

Answer 7

Also I have a question, what was going to change if It said in any order other than in that order

Answer 8

If the 1diet sprite and 2 waters can be in any order, the probability is given by:
\[\large P(1\ diet\ sprite,\ 2\ waters)=\frac{4C1\times10C2}{40C3}\]

Answer 9
