Answer
Probability that one will get the first and second horse correct and in the correct order = ½
Explanation
The probability of an event is given as
[tex]\text{Probability of an event = }\frac{Number\text{ of elements in that event}}{Total\text{ number of elements in the sample space}}[/tex]For this question, we need to calculate the probability of getting the first and second horse correctly.
Number of elements in the event = Number of predictions with the first and second horse correct in that order = 1 × 1 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 360
Total number of elements in the sample space = Total number of possible arrangements for the horses = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
Probability that one will get the first and second horse correct and in the correct order = (360/720) = ½
Hope this Helps!!!
