Randomly getting the numbers 3, 25, 11, 17 and 9 in any order in five consecutive numbers. What rule is needed for this problem? How many trials is this?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,34,25,26}
Randomly getting the numbers 3, 25, 11, 17 and 9 in any order in five consecutive numbers. What rule is needed for this problem? How many trials is this?
----
# of sets of 5 numbers = 26C5
# of those sets with that particular set of 5 numbers = 1
----
P(selecting that set of 5) = 1/65780 = 0.0000152..
---------------
Only one trial is needed if "trial" is defined as
select "5 numbers out of the given set without replacement".
