Answer 1

16.48%

Explanation:

6 democrates

3 republicans

5 independents

Total number: 6+3+5=14

Probability of selecting an independent:

#of independents/ Total number

5/14= 0.3571

Probability of selecting a democrat:

# of democrats/ Total number-1

6/13= 0.4615

Probability of independent then democrat:

0.3571x0.4615=0.1648

0.1648x100= 16.48%
