1/4669920Step-by-step explanation:First if all, when repetition is mot allowed, we use Permutation to get the number of possible outcomes as follows;P(n, r) = n!/(n - r)! Now, the order is important since the first, second, third and fourth prizes are different.Thus, we need to define the Permutation.We need to select 4 winners of the 48 people. Thus, n = 48 and r = 4Thus; P(48,4) = 48!/(48 - 4)!P(48,4) = 4669920Now, probability is the number of favourable outcomes divided by number of possible outcomesThus, Probability = 1/4669920...
