Question 717548: Please help me solve this statistics problem
Four students drive to school in the same car. The students claim they were late to school and missed a test because of a flat tire. On the makeup test, the instructor asks the students to identify the tire that went flat;
front driverʼs side, front passengerʼs side, rear driverʼs side, or rear passengerʼs side. If the students didnʼt really have a flat tire and each randomly selects a tire, what is the probability
that all four students select the
same tire?
