Respuesta :
The probability is likely, because their are 27 players with 8 to chose from which leaves 19.
Answer:
The probability is:
0.0000004504
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
eight basketball players are to be selected to play in a special game.
The players will be selected from a list of 27 players.
if the players are selected randomly.
We have to find the probability that the 8 tallest players will be selected assuming none of the players are the exact same height.
i.e. we need to select 8 members out of the 27 players no matter what the order is:
So, the probability is given as:
At the first place we have 8 choices out of 27.
so, the probability will be: 8/27.
at the second we have 7 choices out of 26 players.
( as 1 player has been chosen)
so, the probability is: 7/26
similarly for third choice the probability is: 6/25 and so on.
Hence, finally we get the probability as:
[tex]\dfrac{8}{27}\times \dfrac{7}{26}\times \dfrac{6}{25}\times \dfrac{5}{24}\times \dfrac{4}{23}\times \dfrac{3}{22}\times \dfrac{2}{21}\times \dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{1}{2220075}=0.0000004504[/tex]
