At one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 5 people, 3 weapons, and 5rooms. What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess beingcorrect? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

1/75

• 5 people

,

• 3 weapons

,

• 5 rooms

The number of possible combinations will be:
