Five horses are running at a race track. Being an inexperienced bettor, you assume that every order of finish is equally likely. You bet that Son-of-a-Gun will win and that Gentle Lady will come in second. What is the probability that you will win both bets?

The probability that you will win both bets is 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are five horses running at a race track.

The total number of ways in which the race can finish is: 5! = 120.

Now the bet placed is:

Son-of-a-Gun will win and that Gentle Lady will come in second.

So, the first two places are fixed.

The remaining three can be arranged in 3! = 6 ways.

That is there are 6 ways in which the bet can be won.

Compute the probability of winning the bet as follows:

Thus, the probability that you will win both bets is 0.05.

a net is a diagram that shows a “flattened” view of a solid. in a net, each face and base is shown with all of its dimensions. a net can also serve as a pattern to build a three-dimensional solid.

a pyramid is a three-dimensional object with a base that is a polygon and triangular faces that meet at one vertex.

" the net of a triangular pyramid consists of four triangles. the base here we are given of the pyramid is a equilateral   triangle, and the lateral faces are also triangles "
