Question

Six sophomores and 14 freshmen are competing for two alternate positions on the debate team. which expression represents the probability that both students chosen are sophomores? startfraction (20 c 6) (19 c 5) over 20 c 2 endfraction startfraction (20 p 6) (19 p 5) over 20 p 2 endfraction

Answer 1

The probability expression is $\frac{^{6}C_2}{^{20}C_2}$

How to determine the probability expression?

The given parameters are

• Sophomore = 6
• Freshmen = 14

The total number of people is

n = 20

2 of the 20 people are to be selected.

So, the number of selection is

$n = ^nC_r$

This gives

$n = ^{20}C_2$

The expression that represents both students being sophomore is

$n = ^{6}C_2$ --- i.e. 2 students selected from 6

The probability is then represented as:

$\frac{^{6}C_2}{^{20}C_2}$

Hence, the probability expression is $\frac{^{6}C_2}{^{20}C_2}$
