7 Hanna buys 12 hollow chocolate eggs that each contain a sweet. The eggs look identical but Hanna
knows that 3 contain a red sweet, 4 contain an orange sweet and 5 contain a yellow sweet. Each
of Hanna’s three children in turn randomly chooses and eats one of the eggs, keeping the sweet it
contained.
(a) Find the probability that all 3 eggs chosen contain the same colour sweet. [4]
