You can put this solution on YOUR website! Tim and Jorge hope they will be assigned to the same cabin at the summer camp. Each cabin has 8 beds in it. And Tim knows that he is staying in the green cabin not the red cabin. If there are 14 boys going to camp in addition to Tim and Jorge. What is the chance that Tim and Jorge will both be in the green cabin?
----------
# of ways to succeed:: 7 beds in green
-----
# of possible bed assignments for the 15 boys :: 7+8 = 15
----------------------
P(Jorge gets green) = 7/15
