If i have 90 people coming to an event, with 120 different outfits, what is the chance of two people wearing matching outfits
How can 90 people wear 120 different outfits?
I guess you mean that 90 people come and they randomly choose 1 of 120 outfits each.
Let me see...
The number of ways that people can have different outfits (order counts) is
120P90=120!/30!≈2.5219∗10166
The number of ways that they can have any outfit = 12090=1.3376×10187
The prob that all the outfits are different would be
120!30!÷12090≈1.8855×10−21
the prob that 2 or more are in the same outfit would be
≈1−1.8855×10−21=1 correct to more than 10 decimal places.
I am not sure of this answer - repeat at own risk. LOL
