surely its quite simple
P(at least one door not chosen) = 1 - p(all doors chosen)
since there are n people and n doors,
the first person can choose n, the second person can choose (n-1) etc
then p(all doors chosen) = n!
then p(at least one door not chosen) = 1 - n!

but 1 - n! /n^n cause the probability has to be over the total outcome

I got n^n- n!
But i didnt find the proability.There goes 1 easy mark
(saw it after the stop the exam but wouldnt dare to put /n^n in )

yeah i got the same as most here, luckily i was sure it just didnt look right cause it was a little easy and siple to derive so i was almost tempted to change it to.. luckily i didnt
