<PRE><B>Question 795613</B>
A horse race has 10 entries and one person owns 3 of those horses assuming their are no ties what is the probability that those 3 horses finish first second and third regardless of order. Can you help me with this problem i am having trouble solving it 
-------
#of ways succeed: 3*2*1*7!
-----
# of possible outcomes:: 10!
---
P(condition) = 3*2*1/(10*9*8)= 6/720 = 1/120
