Sagot :

Answer:  B) 1/52

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's label the friends as A,B,C,D.

Person A has a probability of 7/16 when it comes to ordering a certain color of cotton sweatshirt.

Then 6/15 is the probability for person B. Note how the 7 and 16 drop by 1 for each. This is because no repeats are allowed. If person A goes for a blue sweatshirt, then person B cannot select blue as well.

Person C's probability is 5/14 and person D has a probability of 4/13

-------------------------

So we have these fractions: 7/16, 6/15, 5/14, 4/13

Once again, we have the numerators and denominators counting down by 1 each time.

Multiplying those fractions gets us...

(7/16)*(6/15)*(5/14)*(4/13)

(7*6*5*4)/(16*15*14*13)

840/43680

(1*840)/(52*840)

1/52

So if you did 52 trials of this, then you should expect about 1 of those trials is where each friend orders a different color cotton sweatshirt.

1/52 = 0.0192 = 1.92% approximately

So this happens about 1.92% of the time.
