Question 1159564: Of the 52 students in a class, 44 are taking the class because it is a major requirement, and the other 8 are taking it as an elective. If two students are selected at random from this class, what is the probability that the first student is taking the class as an elective and the second is taking it because it is a major requirement? What is the probability that the first student is taking the class because it is a major requirement and the second student is taking the class as an elective? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (8/52) for the first as an elective*(44/51) (change in denominator) for the second. Joint probability is 0.1327.
second is the same (44/52)(8/51), just ordered differently.
