In a school with a large number of students, \(p\%\), where \(p>40\), of its students study H2 Biology. In a random sample of \(40\) students, the probability of no less than nine but no more than twenty students studying H2 Biology is \(0.25\). Find the value of \(p\).[3]

It is given that \(p=60\). A group of \(12\) randomly chosen students are to attend an interview session at a meeting room, with only one interviewee being interviewed at a time. Find the probability that the third and tenth interviewee are the first and fourth students respectively among them studying H2 Biology.[3]
