Though the experts have nailed it, I'll try to put my reasoning procedure (which is more or less the same): P(D getting P)= 1/14 We'll stop here. P(D not getting P) = 13/14 Next P(D getting R) = 1/13 So, thus P becomes 13/14 * 1/13 = 1/14 So, overall P(D getting either a P or a R ) = 1/14 + 1/14 = 1...

Forming sub groups

How many ways are there to split a group of 6 boys into 2 groups of 3 boys each?
How is this question different from just selecting 3 boys to form a group, rest 3 can be technically in a different (outcast) group?

This idealized American image, known as monism, sees efficiency as maximized when bureaucrats perform only those duties passed down to them from a central authority.

Thanks!
