An event organizer is planing a programme for a group of 20 people who want to embark
on a sightseeing trip. Due to space constraints at the facilities to be visited the orga￾nizer partitions the group into five non-empty subgroups. The number of people in the
subgroups may vary from one subgroup to another.

(d) How many different partitions are there if the second and fourth
subgroups have 4 and 6 people respectively?


(e) The organizer chooses a partition of the people at random. Find the
probability that the number of people in the second and fourth subgroups
of the chosen partition are not 4 and 6 respectively.
