Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks? Translation for those who are not familiar with chess: pick 8 unit squares at random from an 8 × 8 square grid. What is the probability that no two chosen squares share a row or a column? Hint. You can think of placing the rooks both with or without order, both ap- proaches work.

Answer:

[tex]4.51\times10^{-10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only 2 solutions for none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks: only if they are laid out in either of the 2 diagonal of the chess board

The number of possible combination for the rock to laid out in 8x8 (64 slots) chess board

[tex]\frac{64 * 63 * 62 * 61 * 60 * 59 * 58 * 57}{8!} = \frac{1.78\times10^{14}}{40320} = 4426165368[/tex] possible combination

So the probability is pretty thin

[tex]P = 2 / 4426165368 = 4.51\times10^{-10}[/tex]
