The correct answer is 3/4 but can someone tell me howby the way this is 100 points

Answer 1

Given data:

The given numbers of students are n=16.

The expression for the probability that you are not one of the first four students chosen is,

`\begin{gathered} P(x)=(1-(1)/(16))(1-(1)/(15))(1-(1)/(14))(1-(1)/(13)) \\ =(15)/(16)*(14)/(15)*(13)/(14)*(12)/(13) \\ =(12)/(16) \\ =(3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the probability that you are not one of the first four students chosen is 3/4.
