Four equally qualified runners, John, Bill, Ed, and Dave, run a 100-meter sprint, and the order of finish is recorded.(a) If the runners are equally qualified, what is the probability that Ed wins the race?(b) What is the probability that Ed wins and John places second?(c) What is the probability that Bill finishes last? A single person is hired to taste and rank each of three brands of tea, which are unmarked except for identifying symbols A, B, and C.If the taster has no ability to distinguish a difference in taste among teas, what is the probability that the taster will rank tea type C as the most desirable? (Enter your probability as a fraction.)What is the probability that the taster will rank tea type C as the least desirable? (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
