Answer :
Answer
Probability that one will get the first and second horse correct and in the correct order = Β½
Explanation
The probability of an event is given as
[tex]\text{Probability of an event = }\frac{Number\text{ of elements in that event}}{Total\text{ number of elements in the sample space}}[/tex]For this question, we need to calculate the probability of getting the first and second horse correctly.
Number of elements in the event = Number of predictions with the first and second horse correct in that order = 1 Γ 1 Γ 6 Γ 5 Γ 4 Γ 3 = 360
Total number of elements in the sample space = Total number of possible arrangements for the horses = 6 Γ 5 Γ 4 Γ 3 Γ 2 Γ 1 = 720
Probability that one will get the first and second horse correct and in the correct order = (360/720) = Β½
Hope this Helps!!!
