Three imported wines are to be ranked from lowest to highest by a purported wine expert. That is, one wine will be identified as best, another as second best, and the remaining wine as worst. a Describe one sample point for this experiment. b List the sample space. c Assume that the “expert” really knows nothing about wine and randomly assigns ranks to the three wines. One of the wines is of much better quality than the others. What is the probability that the expert ranks the best wine no worse than second best?
