Maths quiz - what's the chance of this....


Recommended Posts

If it is a matter of simple probability,

The first time one of the 14 song is played...14/14500 14 out of total

2nd is 13/14498..,13 out of 14499 because one has already played

3rd time ...12/14397...12 out of 14498 now two has already played

.

the thing is Rob´s is a probability of a particular (same one) song being played 5 times in a row out of 14499

Note that mine reduces by one from 14 and 14500 - this means it is omitting the same song being played again in the psuedo random shuffle.

 

Given the simple question you have asked, what is the chances of 14 songs out of 14500 (without the same song being played twice)
