Default This problem is pissing me off

Ok, so I bought some CD training thing to learn probability and statistics, and Im getting pissed off cuz I swear their answers are wrong. But I obviously don't know this stuff well enough to be like "ok, this thing is total crap and was made by an idiot" because I obviously bought the CD cuz I don't know the stuff.

Heres the problem that makes me want to throw this thing in the trash. Can someone give me the correct answer so I can know for sure who sucks more at statistics, me or the guy who made this CD

An urn contains 5 red balls, 3 white balls, and 6 blue balls. Determine the probability that they are drawn in the order of blue, white, and red, given that each ball is NOT replaced in the urn after it is drawn.


thank you very much
