You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pizza pub is open 7 days a week. The manager allows each of the three employees to select one day off a week. What is the probability all 3 select the same day given that all 3 select a day beginning with the same letter.
----------------
The only days beginning with the same letter are saturdaya and sunday.
----------------
P(all select the same | all select saturday or sunday)
----
P(all select saturday or sunday) = 2(1/2)^2 = 1/2
P(all select the same AND all select saturday or sunday) = (2/7)^2
-------------------
P(all select same | all select sat or sun) = (2/7)^2/(1/2) = 8/49
