Initially there are cans of apple juice,
out of a total of cans,
so the probability of the first can picked being apple juice is .
After that, there are cans in the ice chest,
including cans of apple juice,
so the probability picking a second can of apple juice is .
After getting cans of apple juice out of the ice chest,
There are cans of juice in the ice chest,
including cans of apple juice,
so the probability picking a third can of apple juice is .
The probabiulity of that series of events is
.
Rounding to 4 decimal places, we get the approximate result
, or about 1% .
