Question

In a class of 6, there are 2 students who forgot their lunch.

Answer 1

Answer: 1/15

Explanation:

Since it's a class of 6, and there are 2 students who forgot their lunch. The probability of firs choosing a student who forget their lunch will be 2 out of 6 which is 2/6.

When the next student who forget their lunch is picked there'll be 5 students left which means the probability then will be 1 out of 5 which is 1/5.

Therefore, the if the teacher chooses 2 students, the probability that both of them forgot their lunch will be 1/3 multiplied by 1/5 which will be:

= 1/3 × 1/5

= 1/15
