I have 6000 items, 2 of which are associated with me. If someone came along and randomly picked 10 of these items, what’s the probability of someone picking 1 of those 2 items that belong to me?
Can anyone work out the % probability for me?

At least 1 or exactly 1?

Is that 300/1? Because that would have been my guess.

3/1000 I think?
So 0.3%?

2 divided by 6000 I reckon.

Nah, because 10 items are getting picked.
That’s the figure I worked out, just wanted the wise minds of the SMB to confirm.
Yeah, opened that, then shut it straight away! Couldn’t make head nor tail of it!Probability Calculator

That's just for 1 pick, so it's 10x that (1/300) as there's 10 picks
Or is it one these that's 2/6000 + 2/5999 + 3/5998..........etc

A valid point highlighting a complete oversight.

3% is 3 picks out of 1 in 100, so it's clearly wrong
