Maths noob, here.
I have a set of 100 distinct words, and I randomly select three words to form a combination, like happy.tire.complain.
The combination must comprise of three distinct words - so combinations like happy.tire.happy, for example, are ineligible.
I do this twice, to form two random combinations. What is the probability that the two combinations will be identical?
Intuition leads me to this working, but I feel like it's wrong:
1. P(1) * P(2) * P(3) = (1/100) * (1/99) * (1/98) = 1/970200 = x
2. P(4) * P(5) * P(6) = (1/100) * (1/99) * (1/98) = 1/970200 = y
3. x * y = 1/970200² = 1/941288040000
