5 numbers are selected at random from the set
{1,2,3,...,20}
What is the probability that their MINIMUM
(smallest of the 5 picked numbers)
is greater than 5?
Thanks in advanced.
If repetitions are not allowed:
(15 p 5) / (20 p 5) = 0.1937
*Edit*
There are 3 ways to approach the problem, all of which get the same answer. I chose to think of it in terms of fractions:
(15/20)(14/19)(13/18)(12/17)(11/16).
But I wrote it like (15p5)/(20p5) because that
