You and two friends visit a pizza shop. There are 15 toppings. 5 toppings are meat and the rest are vegetable. Each of you orders a different topping (no repeats) at random. What is the probability that your group orders only meat toppings?

A.)1/10
B.)2/91
C.)33/5
D.)3,003/10

Correct Answer:
The first person has a 8/13 chance of getting a meat topping. The second person has a 7/12 chance since there are no repeats, which means the third person would have a 6/11 chance. Since there are only three people, you multiply 8/13 x 7/12 x 6/11. That gives you 19.6% = 336/1716. A, B, C, and D are incorrect.
