suppose that your boss must choose four employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 14 of you want to go . he decides that the only fair way is to draw names out of a hat. What is the probability that you, Samuel, Emma and Paul are chosen? Into a fraction or round your answer to four decimal places if necessary
total employees=14
probability that you are chosen is P=1/14
probability that Samuel are chosen is P=1/13
the probability that Emma are chosen is P=1/12
the probability that Paul are chosen is P=1/11
therefore
the probability that you, Samuel, Emma and Paul are chosen is
P=(1/14)(1/13)(1/12)(1/11)=4.16x10^-5=0.00004
problem N 2
P=(1/27)(1/26)(1/25)=0.00005698=0.0001
