Answer:

4845

.020639% (or 1/4845)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one we have to use combinations (because the order doesn't matter)

The formula is as follows:

for ACB

[tex]\frac{A!}{(A-B)!*B!}\\\\\frac{20!}{(20-4)!*4!}=4845[/tex]

2.

for probabilty the odds of an outcome is just: number of times the requirement is satisfied/total number of possibliites

we know that there are 4845 possbile groups and only one in which we get all of our friends so it's just

1/4845= .020639%
