P(all 3 passed) = (2/3)(5/8)(3/4) P(none passed) = (1-2/3)(1-5/8)(1-3/4) = (1/3)(3/8)(1/4) = 1/32 P(exactly 2 passed) = P(1st and 2nd passed but 3rd did not pass) + P(1st and 3rd passed but 2nd did not pass) + P(2nd and 3rd passed but 1st did not pass) = (2/3)(5/8)(1-3/4) + (2/3)(1-5/8)(3/4) + (1-2/3)(5/8)(3/4) = (2/3)(5/8)(1/4) + (2/3)(3/8)(3/4) + (1/3)(5/8)(3/4) = 43/96 Edwin
(a) all the three boys passed: P =. (b) the probability that none of the three boys passed: P = . (c) the probability that only two boys passed: P = + + .
