choosing 3 states from the top 6 murder states would actually be the top 3 states for murders in the United States in the exact correct descending order?

Each state and # of murders

1. California 1790

2. Texas 1089

The chances would be (if you cant get duplicates)

1/6

1/5

1/4

If you want the states in order

You multiply them together

6 x 5 x 4 = 1/120 chance to get them in that order
