Hello, this problem is not for an educational purpose. I am just curious to know the answer to the problem. I have presented this problem to my high school teacher and she did not give me a definitive answer. The problem is simple and to the point, but I would like to see the reasonings to prove why that is. I hope someone is able to solve the problem, any attempt will be appreciated. The problem is the following:
You are in a contest with other 9 people (10 people in total). Two winners will be chosen randomly at the same time. A person cannot win more than once (In an event which one person is chose twice, the result will be invalid and winners will be re-chosen). What is the probability of you winning?
