(b) What is the probability that Jenn ordered the Introduction to Counting textbook and Glenn ordered the Introduction to Number Theory textbook?

(c) What is the probability that Jenn ordered the Introduction to Counting textbook and Glenn ordered the Introduction to Number Theory textbook and Paul ordered the Introduction to Algebra textbook?

(d) What is the probability that Jenn gets the correct textook after the first round?

(f) What is the probability that Jenn and Glenn and Paul gets the correct textook after the first round?
