Question

Suppose that your boss must choose four employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 15 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, Kyle, Carol, and Adam are chosen? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

1 / 1365

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of employees to choose from = 15

Number of employees to be chosen = 4

Probability of choosing You, Kyle, Carol and Adam

Recall ;

P(A) = number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Number of required outcome = 4C4

Total possible outcomes = 15C4

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

Using calculator to save computation time :

15C4 = 1365

4C4 = 1

P(choosing you, Kyle, Carol and Adam) :

1 / 1365
