Answer to Problem 4CYU
The probability is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
In chemistry lab need to test six samples.
Concept used:
The number of ways of arranging
The probability formula is used to compute the probability of an event to occur as:
Calculation:
Since, the samples are arranged with a fixed reference point. This is a linear permutation. So, there are
Hence, the probability is
