If three different faculty members are randomly chosen, what is the fractional probability that you choose one instructor from each of the disciplines?
---------------------
# of triples with 3 discipline: 10*7*1 = 70
Total number of triples: = 18C3 = 816
------------
P(3-discipline triples) = 70/816 = 0.0858
