Fifteen football players of a club-team are given 1515 T-shirts with their names written on the backside. If the players pick up the T-shirts randomly, then the probability that at least 33 players pick the correct T-shirt is

Options

  1. A524\dfrac{5}{24}
  2. B215\dfrac{2}{15}
  3. C16\dfrac{1}{6}
  4. D536\dfrac{5}{36}

Correct answer

C. 16\dfrac{1}{6}

Step-by-step solution

Given,

Fifteen football players of a club-team are given 1515 T-shirts with their names written on the backside

So, total sample space will be 15!15 !

Now for at least 33 players pick the correct T-shirt,

Required probability=1−D(15)+C115⋅D(14)+C215D(13)15!= 1 - \dfrac{{D}_{\left(15\right)} + C1 15 \cdot {D}_{\left(14\right)} + C2 15 {D}_{\left(13\right)}}{15 !}

Where Dn{D}_{n} is de-arrangement and Dn≈n!e{wheree≈2.73}{D}_{n} \approx \dfrac{n !}{e}\left\{\text{where}e \approx 2 . 73\right\}

Taking D(15){D}_{\left(15\right)} as 15!e\dfrac{15\text{!}}{e}, D(14){D}_{( 14 )} as 14!e\dfrac{14 !}{e} and D(13){D}_{( 13 )} as 13!e\dfrac{13 !}{e}

We get , 1−(15!e+15⋅14!e+15×142×13!e15!)1 - \left(\dfrac{\dfrac{15 !}{e} + 15 \cdot \dfrac{14 !}{e} + \dfrac{15 \times 14}{2} \times \dfrac{13 !}{e}}{15 !}\right)

=1−(1e+1e+12e)=1−52e≈.08= 1 - \left(\dfrac{1}{e} + \dfrac{1}{e} + \dfrac{1}{2e}\right) = 1 - \dfrac{5}{2e} \approx . 08

Note- This question was bonus as NTA as calculated the answer as C315×12!15!=16\dfrac{C3 15 \times 12 !}{15 !} = \dfrac{1}{6}, they have not considered the repetation cases.
