To calculate: the probability that the first four players selected are in order of Alicia, Andrew, Marco and Zack
Answer to Problem 2CYU
The required probability is 0.000595
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Eight players entered a tournament and the names are drawn randomly
Calculation:
Since there are total 8 players so number of possible orders of 8 players is,
8! =
Here first four need to be in specific order. That is first four players can be selected in 1 way. And possible orders of last 4 players is,
4! =
Number of ways of selecting players in given order is
So, the probability that first four players are in given order is,
Hence, required probability is 0.000595
