Answer:

4/1771

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

sample space

7 cans of apple​ juice,

6 cans of grape​ juice,

6 cans of orange​ juice, and

4 cans of mango juice

Sample size= (7+6+6+4)

                       = 23

Step two:

Required

The probability of randomly selecting three cans of mango juice in succession

Note: we are selecting without replacement

let the probability of selecting three cans of mango juice be

the first selection is= 4/23

The second = 3/22

the third= 2/21

[tex]P(x)= 4/23*3/22*2/21[/tex]

[tex]P(x)= \frac{4*3*2}{23*22*21} \\\\P(x)= \frac{4}{23*11*7}\\\\P(x)= \frac{4}{1771}[/tex]
