we have cards on a table numbered 1-37. One person comes to table and chooses 1 card then leaves (card stays on table). After that another person comes and chooses again one card and leaves. In total 50 people came to table. what is the probability that one of the cards was chosen 5 times?

The probability is given by :

 

C(50,5) * (1/37)^5 * (36/37)^45  =  about .0089  = about 0.89%

 

 

cool cool cool
