A small bowl of candy has a piece of chocolate, cinnamon, and butterscotch candy. Over the course of a few days, the three candies were eaten. Determine the probability of the butterscotch, cinnamon, and then chocolate candies eaten in this particular order.


Please show work.

Respuesta :

Using the arrangements formula, the probability of the butterscotch, cinnamon, and then chocolate candies eaten in this particular order is:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].

What is the arrangements formula?

The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:

[tex]A_n = n![/tex]

In this problem, there are 3 candies, hence the number of ways they can be eaten is:

[tex]A_3 = 3! = 6[/tex]

The desired order is only one, hence the probability is:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
