Question
Three integers are chosen at random from the first 20 integers. The probability that their product is even is,

Answer

  1. $\frac{17}{19}$
Soluction:
Required probability that product of two integers should be even.
10 integers are odd out of first 20 integers.
Required probability = 1 - Probability of product is odd
Product of three integers is odd if two numbers are odd
Required probability $=1-\frac{10}{20}\times\frac{9}{19}\times\frac{8}{18}=\frac{17}{19}$
