a distribution center receives shipments of a product from 3 different factories in the quantities of 50, 30, and 20. three times a product is selected at random, each time without replacement. find the probability that (a) all 3 products came from the third factory and (b) non of the products came from the third factory.
This is quite similar to a statistics question from Chamberlain College of Nursing

a) Probability that all three products came from the 3rd factory: highlight_green%280.007%29, or .7%
b) Probability that none of the three products came from the 3rd factory: highlight_green%280.508%29, or 50.8%
