Respuesta :

The probability would be 1/30.

The probability that Mike goes first is 1/6, since each person has an equal chance of being chosen first.  After Mike goes, Jim has a 1/5 chance to go next, since Mike has already gone.  The probability is then

1/6(1/5) = 1/30.

The probability that Mike is the first person chosen to go to the board and Jim is the​ second is 1/30.

Probability = (1/total number of students) x (1 / number of students after one student has been chosen)

(1/6) x (1/5) = 1/30
