Question 1154465: Suppose that there are 19 sophomores and 25 juniors in a Chemistry class. Two students are chosen at random to participate in a class demonstration. What is the probability of choosing two students at random and the first is a junior and the second one is a sophomore? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

There are 19 +25 = 44 students in the Chemistry class
:
Probability of choosing 2 students with first a junior and second a sophomore = (25/44) * (19/43) = 0.251057082 is approximately 0.2511
