A can be chosen in \(1\) way
Remaining \(2\) has to be chosen from remaining \(4\) medicines \(= 4C2=6 \)
Hence favourable cases \(1*6 = 6 \)
Total ways to choose \(3\) out of \(5\) \(= 5C3 = 10 \)
Probability \(= \frac{6}{10} =\frac{3}{5}\)

Hello, can anyone tell me if my approach was correct too?
P(A) = P(A gets chosen in the first "pick") + P(A gets chosen in the 2nd "pick") + P(A gets chosen in the 3rd "pick")
= \(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{4}{5}*\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{5}*\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{1}{5}+ \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Thanks in advance!
