Question 608421: Please help me with this problem.
Thank you.
A group of 5 children are each to choose one popsicle from a box of 12: 4 grape, 4 cherry, and 4 orange. What is the probability that each child will get the flavor they want?

It depends on what flavors the children want. If all 5 children want grape, for example, the probability is zero because you have 4 grape popsicles to distribute among 5 children. If the five children want different flavors, the probability is non-zero.
