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. There are two kids in the class named Celia and Felicity. Give an expression for each of the probabilities below as a function of n. Simplify your final expression as much as possible so that your answer does not include any expressions of the form (). (a) What is the probability that Celia is first in line? (b) What is the probability that Celia is first in line and Felicity is last in line? (C) What is the probability that Celia and Felicity are next to each other in the line? Feedback?

Respuesta :

P = 1 / n (Celia is first and Felicity is last in line) (n - 1)

P (in the line, Celia and Felicity are next to one another) = 2/n

A class consists of n kids.

These n kids line up for recess.

Out of n kids, there are two kids named Celia and Felicity.

(b) There are n positions and n! ways for n youngsters to stand in a line.

Consequently, n is the entire number of possible situations!

Felicity is standing in the last position while Celia is in the first (fixed position)

The remaining (n - 2) children can stand in the remaining 8 (n - 2) positions! ways

As a result, Celia is first in line and Felicity is last in line for the number of favorable situations, which is (n - 2)!

P (Celia is first in line and Felicity is last in line) = [(n - 2)! / n!]

P = (n - 2)! / [n(n - 1)(n - 2)!]

P = 1 / n(n - 1)

The likelihood that Celia and Felicity are on the same row as one another.

Consider Celia and Felicity as a single student, then multiply by the number of pupils (n - 1)

One can arrange (n - 1) pupils in (n - 1) positions! ways

However, there are two methods to organize Celia and Felicity among themselves.

There are therefore 2 good reasons to put Celia and Felicity adjacent to each other (n - 1)!

P(Celia and Felicity in the line are next to one another) = 2! * (n - 1)! / n!

P = 2 * (n - 1)! / n (n - 1)

P = 2/n
