If 4 people have the same 7 shirts, what is the chance that they will wear the same shirt on one day?
(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)/256
7/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the first shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the second shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the third shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the fourth shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the fifth shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the sixth shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
- For each person, the probability they all wear the seventh shirt is 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/256
