There are three boxes, in each of them the balls are numbered from 00 to 99. From each box one ball is taken out . What is the probability of three equal numbers to be taken out?
Answers & Comments
The first ball can be any number. Let's call it the target number.
The probability the second ball matches the target number is 1/100.
The probability the third ball matches the target number is also 1/100.
So the probability of all 3 the same is the product:
1/100 * 1/100
= 1/10000
= 0.0001
