a horse race has 14 entries and one person owns 2 of those horses. assuming that there are no ties, what is the probability that those two horses finish first and second (regardless of order)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/91

Explanation:

Number of entries in the horse race = 14

• The probability that one of those 2 horses will be first = 2/14

,

• The probability that the second horse will be second = 1/13

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(\text{those two horses finish first and second)} \\ =\frac{2}{14}\times\frac{1}{13} \\ =\frac{1}{91} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The probability is 1/91.
