Question

In a class of 6, there are 2 students who forgot their lunch. If the teacher chooses 2 students, what is the probability that both of them forgot their lunch?

Answer 1

1/15

Explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

2/6 x 1/5 = 1/15
