Consider a political discussion group consisting of 5 Democrats, 6 Republicans, and 4 Independents.
Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention.
What is the probability of selecting no Republicans?
[round to the nearest thousandth]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In all, there are 5 + 6 + 4 = 15 members in the political discussion group.
The probability that the first chosen person is non a Republican is = = .
The probability that the second chosen person is not a Republican is = = .
Then the probability under the question is the product = . ANSWER
