An individual is presented with three different glasses of cola, labeled C, D, and P. He is asked to taste all three and then list them in order of preference. Suppose the same cola has actually been put into all three glasses. What is the probability that C is ranked first and D is ranked last?

Answer and explanation:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

Since all glasses labelled C, D, and P are all same Cola

Probability that C is ranked first = 1/3

Probability that D is ranked last = 1/3
