Question 250330: in the lottery there are 9 balls, numbered 1-9, in each of the three bins. one ball will be selected from each bin. what are the odds of the numbers 2,3, & 4 being pulled IN THAT ORDER?

There is only 1 way to get 2,3,4 in that order. The total number of ways for the 3 balls is 9*8*7 = 504.
So, success = 1, total = 504, fail = 503.
odds = success / failure, so 1:503.
