Problem
A bag contains four pieces of paper, each labeled with one of the digits 
, 
, 
or 
, with no repeats. Three of these pieces are drawn, one at a time without replacement, to construct a three-digit number. What is the probability that the three-digit number is a multiple of ?
Solution
The combination of digits that give multiples of 3 are (1,2,3) and (2,3,4). The number of ways to choose three digits out of four is 4. Therefore, the probability is
