Three numbers are chosen at random without replacement from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. The probability that their minimum is 3, (given that their maximum is 6)is:

  1. A \(\frac{3}{8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total cases where maximum is 6: \( \binom{5}{2} = 10 \) Cases where minimum is 3 and maximum is 6: \( \binom{2}{1} = 2 \) Probability \( = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \)
