In a class of 25 students, 80% are passing the class with a grade of C or better.
If two students are randomly selected from the class, what is the probability
that neither student is passing with a grade of C or better?
A)0.03 B)0.20 C)0.08 D)0.63 E)0.64
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80% of 25 is 20 students.
So, 20 students are passing the class with a grade of C or better,
and 5 students are passing the class with the lower grade.
Therefore, the probability under the problem's question is
P = = = . ANSWER
