Consider the following set of 50 cards:
Three cards are randomly taken from these 50 cards and placed on the table from
left to right. What is the probability that the left-most card has the letter 'A', the
middle card has the letter 'B', and the right-most card has the letter 'C'?
For example, the following configuration satisfies this:
A3, B7, C7.
A0 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9
BO B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9
CO C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9
DO D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9
EO E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 E6 E7 E8 E9
The following configurations do not satisfy this:
B7, A3, C7
A9, B9, E4
A9, B9, A4
