You are ordering a hamburger and can get up to 77 toppings, but each topping can only be used once. you tell the cashier to surprise you with the toppings you get. what is the probability that you get 00 toppings? express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answer 1

There is a .0128 (1.28%) chance that you get 0 toppings out of 77. You have 1 through 77, giving you an option to get up to 77 toppings. Your 78th option is 0. So you have a 1 in 78 chance of getting 0 toppings.
