Question

Five students want to play dodgeball and they all want to be a team captain. To be fair, the gym coach decides to place the names of all five students into a hat, mix well, and select two names at random without replacement. The names chosen will be the team captains. Each outcome in the sample space for the random selection of two team captains is equally likely. What is the probability of each outcome in the sample space?
1/25
1/20
1/10
1/5

WARNING! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUTTING THE FOLLOWING WRONG ANSWERS:
1/10 AND 1/5 --> THESE TWO ARE WRONG.

I THINK IT IS 1/20. CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are five students. They all have a 1/5 chance. You have to include the chance of all five students, so each student has a 1/25 chance.
