To find the probability of selecting three cans of apple juice in succession, we first calculate the total number of juice cans. There are 6 cans of apple juice, 4 cans of grape juice, 4 cans of orange juice, and 8 cans of mango juice, resulting in a total of \(6 + 4 + 4 + 8 = 22\) cans. The probability of selecting the first can of apple juice is \(\frac{6}{22} = \frac{3}{11}\). After selecting one can, there are now 5 cans of apple juice left and 21 total cans. Thus, the probability for the second selection is \(\frac{5}{21}\). For the third selection, the probability becomes \(\frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5}\). Now, we multiply these probabilities together: \[ P(3 \text{ apple juices}) = \frac{3}{11} \times \frac{5}{21} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{11 \times 21} = \frac{3}{231} = \frac{1}{77} \] So, the probability of selecting three cans of apple juice is \(\frac{1}{77}\).
