Probability - 2

100 coins are arranged in a 10 groups of 10 people. It is known that 10 of the coins contain gold while the rest do not. What is the probability that at least 1 group did not get any gold coins?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense"  - Buddha?
