Respuesta :

Part a

Assuming that order is unimportant

we have a combination

17C5

[tex]17C5=\frac{17!}{5!(17-5)!}=6,188[/tex]

Probability is

P=1/6,188

P=0.0001616

P=0.01616%

Part B

Assuming that the order matters

we have a permutation

17P5

[tex]17P5=\frac{17!}{(17-5)!}=742,560[/tex]

probability is

P=1/742,560

P=0.0000013467

P=0.0003467%
