Leisure Activities A newspaper advertises 5 different movies, 3 plays, and 2 baseball games for the weekend. If a couple selects 3 activities, find the probability that they attend 2 plays and 1 movie.
--------------------------
# of ways to select 2plays and 1 movie = 3C2*5C1 = 3*5 = 15
-----
# of ways to select 3 activities of any kind = 10C3 = (10*9*8)/(1*2*3) = 120
-----
P(select 2 plays and 1 movie+ = 15/120 = 3/24 = 1/8
