Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Probability that 3 customers are attended to in the sequence they arrive
= prob of attending to the 1st arrival x prob of attending to the second last x prob of attending to the last
= \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{1}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Probability that 3 customers are attended to in the sequence they arrive
= prob of attending to the 1st arrival x prob of attending to the second last x prob of attending to the last
= \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{1}\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)
