Piper Holland · Answer 1

1/133

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 21 cans.

When you select the first can, the probability that it is orange juice is 5/21.

When you select the second can, there's one less orange juice can than before, and one less can overall, so the probability is 4/20.

When you select the third can, the probability is 3/19.

The probability of selecting three orange cans is therefore:

5/21 * 4/20 * 3/19 = 1/133

Or approximately 0.75%.
