    need help with probability

    1. Looks right, 2. Again, looks right - there is only one correct choice, but there are 9*8*7 possible outcomes, therefore 1/504 3. I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Reading the question, I get the impression that the first choice of card is unimportant. You could choose any card and it...
