A class consists of 8men & 7ladies.
2students were selected randomly to represent the class in a debate.
Find the probability that the 2 students selected are
(A)Both ladies:: 7C2/15C2
--------------------------------
(B)Both men:: 8C2/15C2
---------------------------
(C)of the same sex:: [7C2+8C2]/15C2
---------------------------------------
(D)of different sex.
There are 8*7 = 56 possible different sex pairs
----
P(different sex pairs) = 56/15C2
