Answer:

13,8%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six employees and six cheks, so there are 36 (6x6) possible combinations so if we need to measure the probability that five of them receive the exact check is only one for each one of them over the 36 possibilities, so 1/36 for one plus 1/36 the second and so on. 5/36 = 13,8%.
