It's a statement, not a question.

That depends on what the question is. This is only an introduction.

@Candypie2010 the probability of what?

SW-User

I see your edit. That's all? Because it could be either. The probability of specific people getting gold, silver and bronze medals is a permutation. The probability of 3 specific people reaching the podium in any order is a combination.

I used to be really good at this, but it's been a long time.
