CHECK POINT I Consider the six jokes about books by Groucho Marx. Bob Blitzer. Steven Wright, HennyYoungman. Jerry Seinfeld, and Phyllis Oilier. As in Example 1. each joke is written on one of six cards which are randomly drawn one card at a time. The order in which the cards are drawn determines the order in which the jokes are delivered. What is the probability that a joke by a comic whose first name begins with G is told first and a man's joke is delivered last?
