Answer:

\sf \dfrac{203}{4108}

As a decimal = 0.05 (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf Probability \ of \ an \ event \ occurring = \dfrac{Number \ of \ ways \ it \ can \ occur}{Total \ number \ of \ possible \ outcomes}

First pick:

\sf \implies P(pink)=\dfrac{30}{80}

As the case is NOT replaced, second pick:

\sf \implies P(pink)=\dfrac{30-1}{80-1}=\dfrac{29}{79}

As the case is NOT replaced, third pick:

\sf \implies P(pink)=\dfrac{29-1}{79-1}=\dfrac{28}{78}

Therefore,

\sf \implies P(pink \ and \ pink \ and \ pink)=\dfrac{30}{80} \times \dfrac{29}{79} \times \dfrac{28}{78}=\dfrac{203}{4108}

Answer as a decimal = 0.05 (nearest hundredth)
