A list consists of all possible three-letter arrangements formed by using the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H such that the first letter is D and either the second or third letter is A. If no letter is used more than once in an arrangement and one three-letter arrangement is randomly selected from the list, what is the probability that the arrangement selected will be DCA?
