There are 8 disks. Total # of ways to choose 4 disks = 8C4 = 70 ways

For 27 to be the median, there need to be 2 numbers less than 27 and 2 numbers more than 27.

There are 4 numbers less than 27 and 4 numbers more than 27.

There are 4C2 ways to choose 2 numbers less than 27 and more than 27. Since we want both to happen,

4C2 * 4C2 = 6 * 6 = 36

Probability = 36/70 = 18/35
