"Okay.... Hrmm..." Ellody thought for a moment. "So, there are 20 students, so that would be the population. I would first assume replacements are not allowed as otherwise, we would have combinations with more than five reds in the population, which wouldn't be allowed. We would have to make use of combinations here.
With a population size of 20 and a sample size of 4 since that's how many students there would be in a group. If we take the factorial of 20, we would get over 2.4 quintillion. After that, we should multiply the factorial of 4 by the factorial of 16 and divide the factorial of 20 by that. As a result, we should get 4845 different possible groups of 4."
Ellody then continued to think. "Continuing on, among any one of the 4845 possible groups of 4, order doesn't matter, but repetitions aren't allowed, as if any reds were to group up, they could wind up being named Alice, Bertha, Cindy, Delilah, or Ethel. As such, we would take the permutaion of 4 to get 24 possible ways to have red, blue, yellow, and green all in one group. That would give me a probability of one group of 24/4845. Multiply that by 5 since there are five groups of 4 and you would get a probability of 24 in 969."
((Holy frick. That took me literal hours to figure out since I had to remember how permutations and combinations work. I probably got it wrong, though.))

Is the school's supernatural entity using my own playbook against me? Dawn thought. Or at least that's what it's learning how to do. Well played, school. Well played.
Dawn then spoke and signed again.
"I get what you're trying to say, but given this is a school, I wasn't trying for anything explicit. I was trying to explain my point by detailing the hardships of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, though I admittedly neglected to mention that giving birth is one of the most painful experiences a human could ever have period. Basically what I'm trying to say is think of maternity leave in the workspace, where they give you time off due to motherhood. I personally would rather not step into explicit territory as that is something most people aren't comfortable talking about in public. However, I do think the R-word is something that should be met with swift expulsion and conviction on the perpetrators, so one point for the opposite side."
