The five children of the Blanchard family get weekly chores assigned
to them at random. Their parents put pieces of paper with the names of the
five children in a hat and draw them out. The order of the names pulled
determines the order in which the children will be responsible for sorting
laundry for the next five weeks. What is the probability that Jim will be
responsible for the first week and Emily will be responsible for the fifth
week?
(1/5)*(1/4) ?
