    The way to find probability is to add all of them together so 10

    There are 3 in Pike so the probability is 3/10 Now you remove them I assume. If so then the answer is if the second lives in Wells the answer would be 5/9 if the winner is not removed which I assume is not the case then it would be 5/10 or 1/2
