5 cards are selected from 10 cards numbered from 1 to 10 w/o replacement
P(1,2,3,_,_) = %281%2F10%29%281%2F9%29%281%2F8%29%287%2F7%29%286%2F6%29 = 1/720
Re TY
My thoughts were the Probability depended only on the first three choices...
as the last two had no strings attached to them.
Note: 10P3 = 720... P(1,2,3) = 1/720
P(1,2,3,_,_) = %281%2F720%29%28%287C2%29%2F%287C2%29%29
