Question 1164707
<br>
The problem is equivalent to this:<br>
Make 6 observations and list them in order from least to greatest.  What is the probability that the 6th observation is first in the list?<br>
Using the basic definition of probability, there are 6 possibilities for which one of the 6 observations is first; there is only one possibility for the 6th observation to be first; so the probability that the 6th observation is first in the list is 1/6.<br>
ANSWER: 1/6<br>
