In an interview for the post of an assistant electrical engineer, only five out of seventeen
successful candidates are to be offered the post in the same department. What is the
probability that the five successful candidates be assigned to the post if they are to be in:
i) the same department.
ii) different departments.
-This is a question where i don't understand because it said there will be 5 successful cadidates that will be offered in the same department
so the answer for 'i)' is basically 1 right?, and then how do i do the work?-
