Inclusion probability under successive PPS draws: z3+∑i≠3ziz3/(1−zi)z_3+\sum_{i\ne3}z_iz_3/(1-z_i)

A probability proportional to size (PPS) without replacement sample of size 2 is to be drawn from a population of N=3N=3 units. Let z1=1/4z_1=1/4, z2=1/4z_2=1/4, z3=1/2z_3=1/2. The ii-th unit is selected with probability ziz_i, i=1,2,3i=1,2,3. If the first unit selected is ii, then the jj-th unit is selected for inclusion in the sample with probability zj/(1−zi)z_j/(1-z_i), j≠ij\ne i. Then, the probability that the third unit in the population is included in the sample is given by:
