Question

A 3-person basketball team consists of a guard, a forward, and a center. (a) If a person is chosen at random from each of three different such teams, what is the probability of selecting a complete team

Answer 1

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 × 1/3 × 1/3 = 1/27

(All from team 1)

Similarly, all from team 2 is 1/27

And all from team 3 is also 1/27

1/27 + 1/27 + 1/27 = 3/27 = 1/9
