outer musk well do you know the reason why its impossible

There’s juniors & they have more ppl than sophomores so it’s not possible for everyone in the group to be randomly all sophomores 😞

its not that theres more juniors

#

if there was 1 sophomore and 103145656434562345665480 more juniors and i picked one person, there are more juniors, but its still possible to get the one sophomore

So can I say “the probability of composing a group of sophomores is a very small value so selecting a group of 7 students doesn’t change the overall probability significantly making it practically 0%”??

#

very small but possible never means 0

#

keep that in mind for your future proofs

#

becauses thats always wrong

#

there are 6 sophomores and we want to choose a group of 7 people, all being sophomores
