Probability Basicshard
0:00.0

An insect starts at the origin (0,0,0)(0,0,0)(0,0,0) of a 3D grid. At each step, it moves 1 unit in the positive xxx, yyy, or zzz direction with equal probability. Given that the insect reaches the point (2,2,1)(2,2,1)(2,2,1) in exactly 5 steps, what is the probability that its path did not pass through either (1,1,0)(1,1,0)(1,1,0) or (1,1,1)(1,1,1)(1,1,1)?
