Question

Four of the seven students are from Middle Georgia State College. What is the probability that both of the interviewed students are from Middle Georgia State College? Express your answer as a reduced fraction or decimal rounded to at least four decimal places.

Answer 1

The required value is 0.286 and $\dfrac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students = 7

Number of students are from Middle Georgia State College = 4

So, Probability that both of the interviewed students are from Middle Georgia State College is given by

$\dfrac{4}{7}\times \dfrac{3}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{7}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{7}\\\\=0.286$

Hence, the required value is 0.286 and $\dfrac{2}{7}$
