Suppose you are a student in my class, which has 25 students. I have a bowl containing 25 slips of paper. 24 slips say “not a winner" and one slip of paper says “winner". The person who draws the slip “winner" is guaranteed to get an A in the course and the drawing is over. If you have a choice of drawing first, fifth, or last, which position would you choose? Justify your choice on the basis of a probability argument.
