Let S be the sample space and E be the event of selecting 1 girl and 2 boys.
Then, n(S)= Number ways of selecting 3 students out of 25= 25C3 `=(25 x 24 x 23)(3 x 2 x 1)= 2300.
n(E)= (10C1 x 15C2)=10 x(15 x 14)(2 x 1)= 1050.
P(E) =n(E)=1050=21.n(S)230046

The question has been truncated. I suspect it either should end: "...none of the calculators work," in which case: for all 3 to be faulty the probability is 1/10 × 1/10 × 1/10 = 1/1000 = 0.001 = 0.1 % or: "...none of the calculators are faulty," in which case: for all 3 to not be faulty the probability = 9/10 × 9/10 × 9/10 = 729/1000 = 0.729 = 72.9 %

Alternate Wordings for 'In a shop there are 20 customers 18 of whom will make a purchase. If three customers are selected one at a time at random what is the probability that all will make a purchase?
Here is another way to phrase the question: If 18 out of 20 customers make a purchase in a shop, and three customers are selected at random, what is the probablity that all will make a purchase? Each random customer has a 18/20 chance of being one that purchased, so the probability that all three make a purchase is 18/20*18/20*18/20=.729

What is the probability a girl is chosen if 15 students are girls and 10 students are boys?
The ratio of girls to total students is 15:25, or 3:5. Three out of five students are girls so there would be a 60% probability that a girl would be chosen; a 2 out of 5 chance, or 40% probability that a boy would be chosen.
