In the example of rats playing musical chairs, how would the probability of a certain rat being in a certain chair change in the case of five rats and four chairs, compared to five rats and five chairs? A fifth chair or no chair makes no difference for calculating the probability. The probabilities are only different if there is only one chair. The probability would become greater; there are fewer chairs. The probability would become less; there are fewer chairs.
