Ok, i'm totally stumped on this one.
Five hats are randomly distributed to the five people who own them. What is the probability that all the people recieve the correct hat?
I need to solve this for my Geometry class for Homework but have no idea how to do it. It's for extra credit but I'm really doing bad in math so far. If you can help with just this one thing, i'd appreciate it.
Whoever can help: please state how you did the problem with maybe MS Paint or just the forum.
Thanks alot guys for reading.
For hats A,B,C,D,E work out how many ways of ordering them.
If that number is n then the probability of any particular order is 1/n.
