document.write( "What is the probability that 1 is chocolate and 2 are vanilla.\r\n" );

document.write( "There are C(7,1) ways to choose the 1 chocolate and for each of \r\n" );
document.write( "those ways, there are C(5,2) ways to choose the 2 vanillas.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the numerator of the probability is C(7,1)(C(5,2) = 7×10 = 70 ways.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The denominator is the number of ways to select ANY three, or C(12,3) = 220.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the desired probability is 70 ways out of 220, or \"70%2F220\" = \"7%2F22\".\r\n" );
