Independent probability

Question

You play a CD that has 11 songs using the random setting find the probability that the CD player plays songs three first and then song five

Answer 1

The odds of the CD playing any song would be 1/11. Assuming that the CD player can play the first selected song again, the odds of song five being played would also be 1/11.

To find the odds of the CD player playing song three and then five, you multiply 1/11 * 1/11 to get 1/121.
