Final answer:
To list all the combinations of taking three cards from a set of 9 cards and calculate the probability of a > b > c.
Step-by-step explanation:
To list all the combinations of taking three cards (a, b, and c) from a set of 9 cards (1 to 9), we can use the itertools.combinations function in Python. We can then combine the combinations into a numpy array using the numpy.array function. The resulting array will have a column size of [P3 9, 3].
import numpy as np
import itertools
# Creating a list of cards
cards = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
# Generating all combinations
combinations = np.array(list(itertools.combinations(cards, 3)))
print(combinations)
In order to answer the probability of a > b > c, we need to count the number of combinations where a > b > c and divide it by the total number of combinations. This can be done by looping through the combinations and checking the condition. Here's an example:
count = 0
for a, b, c in combinations:
if a > b > c:
count += 1
probability = count / len(combinations)
print(probability)
