Answer:
<em>Choose the first alternative</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probabilities</u>
The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions and the total number of possible choices
, i.e.
There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total
We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.
To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5
The total number of possible choices is
The probability is then
Choose the first alternative
