Just with different numbers

Answer 3

how many total players are there?

no, not so simple, because each time you select one, there is one less to select

Answer 6

the first choice has a prob of 5/25 = 1/5

Answer 7

the second has prob of 4/24 = 1/6

Answer 8

RIGHT 5/25! not 3!

Answer 9

and the third choice has a prob of 3/23 (doesn't reduce)

Answer 10

so 1/5*1/6*3/23 = hmm... the 3 and 6 cancel, leaving a two in the denominator...
