What is the probability that each number of the 3 randomly selected integers is different?
0-9 inclusive, there are 10 different numbers within this range
After selecting the first number, there will be 9 numbers remaining. The probability of selecting a different number is 9/10
After selecting the second number, there will be 8 numbers left, the probability of selecting a different number is 8/10
The final probability for selecting 3 random integers that are different = 9/10 * 8/10
= 9/5 * 4/10 => 9/5 * 2/5
=18/25

ANSWER = A
