Answer 2

Answer:  

$\textbf{The probability that B is not selected = }\bf\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A chairman is to be randomly selected from six people: A, B, C, D, E, and F

So, Total number of peoples available to be selected for chairman = 6

$\text{Probability that B is selected = }\frac{1}{6}$

Now, we need to find the probability that B is not selected

So, The probability that B is not selected = 1 - Probability that B is selected

$\text{So, The probability that B is not selected = }1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$

$\textbf{Hence, The probability that B is not selected = }\bf\frac{5}{6}$
