If one person selects two vehicles at random, what is the probability that the person selects 2 SUV's. The totat number of suv's are 45, the total number of cars are 83 and the car and suv total is 128.
=====================================
The probability of selecting an SUV is the number of SUV's divided by the total number of vehicles
The first SUV is chosen without replacement.
P(2 SUV's) = P(1st)*P(2nd) = 45/128*44/127 = 0.122
