Answer:

0.1724 or 17.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are  

10+13+7 = 30 people

so there are C(30,5) combinations of 30 elements taken 5 at a time ways to select groups of 5 people.

C(30,5)=\displaystyle\binom{30}{5}=\frac{30!}{5!25!}=142,506

There are C(10,2) combinations of 10 elements taken 2 at a time ways to select the 2 Democrats

C(10,2)=\displaystyle\binom{10}{2}=\frac{10!}{2!8!}=45

There are C(13,2) combinations of 13 elements taken 2 at a time ways to select the 2 Republicans

C(13,2)=\displaystyle\binom{13}{2}=\frac{13!}{2!11!}=78

There are C(7,1) combinations of 7 elements taken 1 at a time ways to select the Independent

C(7,1)=\displaystyle\binom{7}{1}=\frac{7!}{1!6!}=7

By the Fundamental Principle of Counting, there are  

45*78*7 = 24,570

ways of making the group of 5 people with 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans and 1 independent, and the probability of forming the group is

\displaystyle\frac{24,570}{142,506}=0.1724 or 17.24%
