the 5 senior members of the softball team line up to take a picture. what si the probability the center fielder is in the center and the first baseman is next to her

Answer 1

There is a 1/5 chance the center fielder is in the center. Since there are 4 spaces left and 2 of them are next to her, there is a 2/4 or 1/2 chance the first baseman is in one of those two. So in all, the probability is

1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10 or 10%
