A class with n kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. Probability that Celia is at first in line is 1/n.
<h3>What is probability and permutation? </h3>
Probability refers to potential.
A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics.
The range of the value is 0 to 1.
Probability of an event occurring is given by
P(E) = (No. of favourable outcomes)/ (No. of total outcomes)
Permutation: When the order of the arrangements counts, a permutation is a mathematical technique that establishes the total number of alternative arrangements in a collection.
Choosing only a few items from a collection of options in a specific sequence is a common task in arithmetic problems. Formula of permutation is given as
For finding probability of Celia at first position in class of n kids we will do permutation and then apply formula of probability.
Total ways of arranging n kids = n!
But is we fix Celia at first position then ways of arrangement will be (n - 1)!
n! = n (n - 1) (n - 2)
