So there are three people.  There are 7 meats and 7 vegetable choices.

So the probability of picking 3 meats in a row is:

P(MMM)=(7/14)(6/13)(5/12)

P(MMM)=210/2184

P(MMM)=5/52   (≈9.62%)

Answer: [tex]\frac{5}{52}[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total toppings = 14

Meat toppings =7

By using permutations,

If each of three friends order a different meat toppings , then total ways of order toppings [tex]14\times13\times12[/tex]

If the group is ordering only meat topping then the number of ways to order only meat topping[tex]7\times6\times5[/tex]

Then, the probability that the group orders only meat toppings[tex]\frac{14\times13\times12}{7\times6\times5}=\frac{5}{52}[/tex]
