Answer:  1) 1/3,654     2) 3/406     3) 72,684,900,288,000      4) 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1)         First       and        Second         and         Third

  \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}\times \dfrac{1\ remaining\ prize}{27\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{21,924}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3,654}}

2)         First       and          Second

   \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{812}=\large\boxed{\dfrac{13}{406}}

3)\quad \dfrac{29!}{(29-10)!}=\large\boxed{72,684,900,288,000}

4)\quad _{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\large\boxed{120}
