Answer:

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956

Step-by-step explanation:

The hyper geometric distribution is used to solve this as it has a population, a sample , number of successes  for both the population and sample.

Here

Population size= N =200

Sample size= n =9= (3*3)

Number of successes in population = k = 3 hours

Number of successes in sample = x= 3

Applying the hyper geometric distribution

P (x=3) = kCx *(N-k) C (n-x)/ N Cn

   = 3 C 3 * 197 C 6/ 200 C 9

    =0.000063956

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956
