the chance of it being in any envelope is 1/10. You could say that it is 1/10 that it is the last[deductive logic] * However if you were to do this it would require more than 10 attempts for it to be in the last envelope…. the probability of it being the last is the sum above of each odds multiplied [empirical evidence – what happens in the real world.
the sum shoulkd be 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 or 1 in 362880
Remember each time you pick if you get the money you need to start again.
Graham will be along with a spreadsheet soon
I hope my maths is correct…for a change
*1 in 10 if 10 people are picking the envelopes and one each is the only way it can occur in real world
