Probability question: What is the chance that the third number is the largest?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12681points) July 31st, 2011

There are three numbers A, B, and C. “A” could be any real (not just integers) number between 1 and 5, both inclusive, with equal probability. “B” could be any number between 2 and 4. “C” could be any number between 1 and 7.

What is the chance that C is greater than both A and B?
