题目
Vehicles approaching a certain road junction from Bromley must go either left, right or straight on. Over time, it is known that turn left, turn right and go straight on. The driver of each vehicle chooses a direction independently of all other drivers.
(a) Find the probability that the next three vehicles approaching this junction from Bromley all go in different directions.
(b) Find the probability that, from the vehicles approaching this junction from Bromley today, the 1st vehicle to go left is before the 9th vehicle.
(c) Find the probability that, from the vehicles approaching this junction from Bromley today, the 2nd vehicle to go left is the 7th vehicle.
