Hey guys.
So, we're doing presentations over poems in my English class, and they way my teacher has it is that we're gonna walk in the room, and randomly pick one of 12 folders, each folder with a different poem in it, and then analyze it. Now, there are only 5 copies of a poem within a folder -- ie. after 5 people pick the same folder, no one else can get that poem.
There are 5 days of presentations (12 per day), and my teacher said she'll notify us day after day of which poems are remaining and which poems are gone (gone meaning 5 people have already done them). I'm going on the fifth day, so what're the odds of there being 12 poems left for me to study? 6 poems? 5 poems? what's the probability distribution?
This will really help me ease my anxiety, since if there is a 30% chance there are only 4 poems left on my day, it would really make my life easier knowing that.
Please help -- thanks<3
