Kenneth has 10 songs in a playlist. 3 of the songs are his favorites. He selects shuffle and songs start playing in a random order. Shuffle also ensures that each song is played only once until all songs in the playlist have been played. What is the probability that 2 of his favorite songs are played first?

Answer:

Rare

Explanation:

If he has ten songs take that 10 and subtract 3 of them that would leave you with 7 and they each play once so unless one of his songs were in the middle of the playlist there is a rare chance becuase of the fact that when a playlist starts it starts in the middle then goes to the front then to the back.
