14.Probability
medium
Let $A$ and $B$ be two finite sets having $m$ and $n$ elements respectively such that $m \le n.\,$ A mapping is selected at random from the set of all mappings from $A$ to $B$. The probability that the mapping selected is an injection is
A
$\frac{{n\,!}}{{(n - m)\,!\,{m^n}}}$
B
$\frac{{n\,!}}{{(n - m)\,!\,{n^m}}}$
C
$\frac{{m\,!}}{{(n - m)\,!\,{n^m}}}$
D
$\frac{{m\,!}}{{(n - m)\,!\,{m^n}}}$
Solution
(b) As we know the total number of mappings is ${n^m}$ and number of injective mappings is $\frac{{n\,\,!}}{{(n – m)\,!{n^m}}}$.
