set a : { 1 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 15 } if 3 numbers are randomly selected from set a without replacement , what is the probability that the sum of the 3 numbers is divisible by 3 ?
Choices:
A) 3 / 14 B) 2 / 7 C) 9 / 14 D) 5 / 7 E) 11 / 14

Rationale: probability of an event = ( # of favorable outcomes ) / ( total # of outcomes ) . there are 5 numbers you can choose from ( 3 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 15 ) so that the sum to be divisible by 3 and there are total of 7 numbers so p = c 35 c 37 = 27 p = c 53 c 73 = 27 . answer : b .
Answer: B
