Statistics Past Exam Question

    I'm in second year in college with a statistics exam next week. I found this question on a past exam paper and I'm unsure if I'm doing it right?

    I'd really appreciate any help

    1) In a box of 10 identical chocolates, 3 are Turkish Delight filled and the remaining 7 have caramel centers. If you select 5 at random what is the probability that the five selected will contain all 3 Turkish Delight sweets?

    2) If alternatively you were to eat the sweets one at a time until you eat all the Turkish Delights what is the probability that this happens on the 5th sweet?
