Question 238064
Carlos, Mary, Rick and Yolanda are students in a class of 17. 4 students in the class are to be selected at random to present a report. What is the probability that Carlos, Mary, Rick and Yolanda are selected in that order?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# of ways to succeed: 1
# of possible outcomes: 17P4 = 17*16*15*14 = 57120
------------------------------------------
Probability = 1/57120 = 0.000017507...
