Answer:

1/35

Step-by-step explanation:

P= 6 *13! / 15! = 1/35

The probability of two east high school swimmers to come first and second is 1/35.

How to calculate probability?

First, let us calculate the number of desired outcomes:

The first position has 3 possibilities and 2nd position has 2 possibilities and 3rd position has 13 possibilities (leaving people of 1st and 2nd position).

Total=2.3.13

Now, calculate the total outcome:

1st position has 15 possibilities, 2nd has 14 and 3rd has 13.

Total=15.14.13

Probability=desired outcome/total outcome

                 =2.3.13/15.14.13

                 =1/35

Therefore, probability of the given situation is 1/35.
