Question

. A manager has just received the expense checks for six of her employees. She randomly distributes the checks to the six employees. What is the probability that exactly five of them will receive the correct checks (checks with the correct names)?

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

If 5 of them are correct, then the 6th one will also be correct. Thus, it is impossible to have exactly 5 correct, therefore 0

Answer 2

13,8%

Explanation:

There are six employees and six cheks, so there are 36 (6x6) possible combinations so if we need to measure the probability that five of them receive the exact check is only one for each one of them over the 36 possibilities, so 1/36 for one plus 1/36 the second and so on. 5/36 = 13,8%.
