Three cards are drawn at random in succession, without replacement, from a standard deck of 52. Find the probability that they are all red cards.
===============================
Initially, there are 26/52 red cards. Each time we draw, there are one fewer
red cards and one fewer cards in the deck.
Therefore the probability of all red cards is:
26/52*25/51*24/50 = 0.118
