Using the arrangements formula, the probability of the butterscotch, cinnamon, and then chocolate candies eaten in this particular order is:
.
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:
In this problem, there are 3 candies, hence the number of ways they can be eaten is:
The desired order is only one, hence the probability is:
.
