Answer:
The probability that those first 3 employees are in the order of Jack, Bill, and John is [tex]\frac{1}{59280}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Company A employs forty people. We need to find the probability that those first 3 employees are in the order of Jack, Bill, and John?
First find the total number of ways;
We have 40 employees out of which we need to select only 3.
This can be written as: [tex]40\times 39 \times 38=59280[/tex]
The number of ways of selecting jack, bill and john in the same order = 1
[tex]Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}[/tex]
[tex]Probability=\frac{1}{59280}[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that those first 3 employees are in the order of Jack, Bill, and John is [tex]\frac{1}{59280}[/tex].
