D: 1500.0 B: 1501.9

A school has \(n\) pupils, of whom \(r\) play hocket, where \(n\geqslant r\geqslant2.\) All \(n\) pupils are arranged in a row at random.

  1. What is the probability that there is a hockey player at each end of the row?
  2. What is the probability that all the hockey players are standing together?
  3. By considering the gaps between the non-hockey-players, find the probability that no two hockey players are standing together, distinguishing between cases when the probability is zero and when it is non-zero.
