Summary:: probability, Probability and Combinatorics
Hello, I need someone to check If I correctly analized the probability of the following event:
A group of younglings formed by 5 girls and 5 boys, Is going to divide in two teams of 5 elements each to play a game.
a) suposing that the division is made randomly, what is the probability of the two teams having elements of only one gender?
What I did Probabiliry(P)=number of possible events N(e)/number of total events N(s)
N(e)= there's only one way of picking 5 girls since it is a team of 5 elements so N(e)=1
N(s)=ways I can pick 5 people out of 10 (I used combinatorics to find) N(s)=252
p(a)=1/252
b)The group has 10 shirts numbered 1 to 10.Suposing that they are distributed randomly, what is the probability that all of the girls getting a shirt with a pair number
solution:
N(e) =pair numbers{2,4,6,8,10}=5
N(s)=ways of people getting shirts =10!
P(b)=5/(10!)=1/725760
c) during the end of the game the 10 students make a line in order to take a photo.Suposing that they all have different heights what is the probability of them getting ordered by their height
solution:
N(e): order biggest to smallest(1)+ smallest to biggest(1)=2
N(s)=10! ways of getting ordered in a line.
P=2/(10!)
Thank You for your time.
