Total applications = 75
Apartments on north side of town = 4
Apartments on South side of town = 5

First  person has a 4/75 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(A) = 4/75

And second person has a 3/74 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(B) = 3/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the north side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (4 ÷ 75) x (3 ÷ 74) = 0.05333 x 0.04054 = 0.00216 

First  person has a 5/75 chance of getting a house in the south side 
P(A) = 5/75

And second person has a 4/74 chance of getting a house in the south side
P(B) = 4/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the south side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (5 ÷ 75) x (4 ÷ 74) = 0.06666 x 0.05405 = 0.00360

What is 2/3-2/5 help me
balandron [24]

Answer: 4/15

Step-by-step explanation:
