A SAMPLE OF 35 PEOPLE RECENTLY HIRED AN ATTORNEY

21 liked their attorney:: P(liked) = 21/35 = 21/35
6 did not like their attorney:: P(did not like) = 6/35
8 were not sure:: P(not sure) = 8/35
--------------------------
THREE PEOPLE PROVIDED INFORMATION. DETERMINE THE PROBABILITY THAT THE FIRST TWO WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEIR ATTORNEY AND THE THIRD IS NOT SURE IF HE OR SHE WOULD
Ans: (21/35)^2*(8/35) = 0.0823
