The probability that the Geometry textbook will be first from the left and the Chemistry textbook will be second from the left is 1/30

How to determine the probability?

The distribution of the books is:

Spanish, English, Chemistry, Geometry, History, and Psychology

The probability of choosing a Geometry book is:

P(G) = 1/6

Now, there are 5 books left.

The probability of choosing a Chemistry book is:

P(C) = 1/5

The required probability is:

P = 1/6 * 1/5

Evaluate

P = 1/30

Hence, the probability is 1/30
