Question 1182175: Roda has 8 pink paper clips, 5 yellow, and 3 green paper clips in her drawer. If she
selects 3 paper clips at random with no replacement, what is the proba. that she will first
select a pink clip, then a yellow, and then another pink clip?
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8/16 probability for pink clip first, which leaves 15 with 5 yellow, so yellow second is (1/3) and the third pink would be 7/14, because two have been chosen and 1 pink.
That combined product is 1/12.
