Using the arrangements formula, the probability of the butterscotch, cinnamon, and then chocolate candies eaten in this particular order is:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:
[tex]A_n = n![/tex]
In this problem, there are 3 candies, hence the number of ways they can be eaten is:
[tex]A_3 = 3! = 6[/tex]
The desired order is only one, hence the probability is:
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex].
